samsung usb3.2 external SSD - 2tb/$175, 4tb/$198 8TB/$399 - hal - 12-18-2024

the catch is that these are slow - max 460MB/s - so act accordingly
I might jump on the 4TB for TM backup and get rid of my last HDD

460MB/s is 'slow'...

Most SATA ssd drives can get over 500mb/s - USBC can do up to about 1000mb/s, so yeah... 460mb/s is slow by today's standard

If you want a faster drive of the 4TB variety, maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9WGQY8G/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B0C9WGQY8G&pd_rd_w=Vz7an&content-id=amzn1.sym.386c274b-4bfe-4421-9052-a1a56db557ab&pf_rd_p=386c274b-4bfe-4421-9052-a1a56db557ab&pf_rd_r=1B1ACN9WM3ZTPNAR7651&pd_rd_wg=PgOzX&pd_rd_r=3463e921-a96b-42fc-9c5f-b5b4adceaad8&s=pc&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1

Purchased this 4TB SSD, 2 weeks ago. Using it for Photos library and photo editing. Formatted APFS and it was good to go.

Not only is it $20 more, but it's been on backorder for weeks.
