On my MSI AMD B550 chipset, press DEL for setup menu or F11 for Boot Menu.
I know. It's just that even though SDD prices have gone up, the total cost of a 10 Gbps USB enclosure and a 1TB NVMe SSD is still one heck of a lot cheaper in comparison.
It's still a tad slower in comparison. That plus the fact that it's a lot more expensive like I said. At least it would need to be very heavily discounted for it to be worth buying it new. Unless maybe if you happen to be too obsessed with the smaller form factor and/or maybe if you are too lazy to insert an SSD into an enclosure. Not saying you are, but I fail to see what else could be gained besides looks or things like that. To me, personally, it's more a question of why should I get rid of my pair of 256GB thumb drives if they still work and I bought them at 100 Euros each in 2018 when SSDs were much more expensive.
Nah. lolBTW, don't you just hate the naming scheme for USB now? When you typed "USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 (USB 3.1 Gen 2) at 10 Gbps" didn't it make you feel dirty?
True, but I love the tiny size of this. I was carrying around an external SSD for a while, but it was a hassle. I carry this thumb drive on a lanyard around my neck, so I literally have it everywhere that I go.
Agee 100%!
I wasn't talking about an external SSD, though. Rather, I was talking about putting an internal M.2 NVMe into a 10 Gbps USB exclosure. The 1TB WD Blue SN570 currently sells for $54.35 on Amazon. Add the SKK enclosure to that (with the 5% coupon), and the total cost will be $72.40. Whereas the PNY 1TB Pro Elite V2 currently is $98.35. That's a $25.95 price difference, which is still a lot. IMO it's a little bit hard to swallow especially if you also consider the fact that the sustained write speed will be more than 50% faster, also in addition to being $25.95 cheaper.
Time to take the (WD) Blue pill.This computer habit is way more expensive than any drug habit I could have taken up instead
