<span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I think USB 3 --> SATA is much slower than connecting directly to the motherboard, but an SSD connected this way is still faster than a 7200rpm HDD. I would buy any internal (e.g. TeamGroup) 2.5" SSD and connect it sata to USB and then you basically have a regular flash drive but much bigger. Format NTFS for regular windows flash drive or ext4 if you're just using on Linux 🤷♂️. I have found if you don't properly unmount NTFS, that tends to corrupt things worse than others</span> <br>

I think another advantage is that there are no mechanical parts to wear out.<br>

The one advantage of an SSD vs a spinning USB Hard drive is that you can bump an SSD drive without worrying about the drive crashing, regardless of speed.
<div>
Drawback is you usually want to keep it at most about 70% full so it can do proper wear levelling

I’m not considering usb2/3/4. I’m thinking about when I upgrade my computer. Right now I’m usb2. I know it will be slow that it might as well be a spinner.

Especially if the controller supports UASP. *aboutHuge* speed increase.
