I mostly use laptops. I note the price of the cheaper NVME Gen 3 is close now to SSD prices.
My single external NVME I have gets very toasty with heavy use. Would the cooler running SSD's be more reliable long term.
I'm hoping to replace a few smaller SSD/HD with something faster and larger. Already have a few External 4 & 5TB mechanical 2.5" drives for long term storage.
Or are NVME going to be more useful going forward. Already have a few USB 3.0 enclosures I can use with 2.5"
I realise you have to to have all the ducks in the row (in terms of ports, cables, and interface chipsets) to get decent speeds from USB 3 and better.
I don't really have a suitable desktop to stuff a load of drives into. I don't want to spend a fortune either.
