SSD as portable drive?

IC3 · 20 Aug 2015 at 17:27

I was thinking at buying a flash drive at first, but thought about using a SSD as portable memory since they're better value.
So far I narrowed it down to SanDisk Extreme PRO or Samsung 850 EVO?

Anyone using ssd as a portable drive?

they will work yeah aslong as you connect them internally or buy a 2.5" hdd/usb dock

evo is the best imo

Remember to get a USB3 one, or you'll be limited to ~30MB/s

I didn't think about that, I guess flash drive will do than. I'll have a look at some portable HDD's, they should be capable of doing 30mb/s.

unless you mounted it internally or got a dock that connect internally

I have one and it gives me full speed,fits where a cd rom drive fits

but its easier I suppose to pickup a usb stick
