Or use an external disk for doing exchanges. Mind, rotating rust speed can be in that range for some disks. 5400 rpm, connected via slow usb2...
I never suspected that this would get me into trouble but it did with a usb/sata adapter not working with disks that were not prepared using it so that a disk prepared in my desktop mobile tray cannot be plugged into the usb port of the laptop with a usb/sata adapter. I wonder why computers don't all have at least one external sata port? I do have a 128gb usb stick but may have to buy a large usb external drive.
ESATA ports went out of fashion maybe a decade ago.
An external SSD disk in an USB3 enclosure could be just the thing. Just half a terabyte or one terabyte have an appropriate price. I use one to transfer files between two computers at different locations, and to keep files when travelling with my laptop.
I do not trust sticks.
For larger sizes, I use rotating rust.
in a usb3 enclosure? never heard of this (speak of rust)
You mean any ssd disk in a usb3 enclosure? What would be the point of placing an already external ssd in a usb3 enclosure? If I can do that with a regular internal ssd then it might fly, I just wouldn't wanna spend beer money on something that can only go back and forth but never inside
You can buy an SSD disk or a rotating rust disk (aka plain magnetic disk, aka traditional hard disk). Both SSD or magnetic disks are identical in appearance. Both have a SATA port and a DC power port. None have USB ports. Both are intended to be put "inside". Both can be put in an enclosure. <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-2-5-Inch-BarraCuda-Internal-Drive/dp/B01LYNQXCP/> <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-A400-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B01N0TQPQB> Or you can buy a hard disk inside an USB enclosure, ready made: <https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01127E6P4> <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Portable-External-500GB-USB-Aluminum-Chromebook/dp/B07BCP3PYL/>
What does a usb3 enclosure do that a sata/usb adapter doesn't?
More reliable. Portability (in a trip). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
