SSD as external drives - USB3 connector -- M2 vs standard 2.5 inch
Hi folks
I was wondering if there was any problem using the newer format M2 type SSD's (they look a bit like DDR memory sticks) rather than the classical 2.5 inch format SSD's when you use them with external USB3 connector / adapter.
The 1TB M2 devices are a bit cheaper than the classical 2.5 inch ones. I only want these as external devices so I know I'm sacrificing a bit of speed by using the M2 format with USB 3.1 . However that's not the issue here for me.
something like this I know you have to have the right type of the SSD M2 device but anybody tried these yet.
