I get the speed...but seems such a waste cause SSD aren't small (256GB) and the Windows Install stuff is only 4GB or so. granted, I guess you can have a custom folder full of new installation related stuff.
The Happy thread!
- Thread starter Squeetard
- Start date
The whole drive turned into a timemachine backup drive. So I no longer have a portable nvme that is free to do whatever I want.
Install something sure, transfer projects from work sure etc
No, I didn't time it, but it was more like turning my head and then looking back and wondering why it was back at the initial install screen. (It had finished the initial install and had already rebooted).

No need to get a super-fast NVMe as you're still limited by the USB 3.X speeds.
I had gone with https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX80425 + WD 500GB Black
I used the 500GB black only because it is what I took out of my system and replaced with a 1TB. I agree with what sswilson said and that being still limted by USB-3 it is silly to use a super fast SSD and if building one for the sake of building one get a cheaper enclosure than I did and go with a cheaper and slower drive.

I initially bought the enclosure as a tool for cloning new/larger NVMe drives without having to use an extra drive for an interim image, but grabbed the 128GB drive for use as a fast replacement for USB sticks since I already had the enclosure sitting unused.

I just remembered I have a 180GB Intel 520 M.2 SATA SSD...that would be perfect!
any recommendations on a decent M.2 SATA enclosure ?

I love driving in fresh powder snow. So much fun.
In your 5.0 Mustang without winter tires?
