Definitely not a deal for everyone, but those who need it I think it is a bargain.
I went down the Enclosure+SSD route, but if I were in the market today I'd definitely get this.
From the product page:
- Super-fast speeds up to 3000MB/s(1) read and 2500MB/s(1) write with Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps), capable of moving 50GB in 1 minute or less
- Dual-mode compatibility with both Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) and USB-C (10Gbps)
- Ultra-rugged design with high-level IP68 dust/water resistance, 4000lb crush resistance, and 3m drop resistance (On a carpeted concrete floor.)
- Cool aluminum core pulls heat away from the internal drive to help maintain super-fast transfer speeds
- Pro-grade enclosure for premium strength you can feel
How does this perform against enclosure and. 1tb nvme gen4 ? Price wise Id think the diy route costs around $150?
