Is this the best option ???

[RoryRB]

So basically i want a cheap and fast option to benchmark pc's quickly, and was wondering if i got this Samsung USB, loaded a small steam library, unigine heaven, cinebench and things like that to transfer ontu the pc so i have a wide range of benchmarks in my pocket, is this a good option or is there anything better for cheaper ??? 

 

This is the usb i was gonna get --- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CVCSTFT/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_7?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

It was either that or this but i dont know id it will bottleneck through the usb 2.0 cable --- https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-PLUS-Sata-Inch-Internal/dp/B071NRR7CC/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=240gb%2Bssd&qid=1560926005&s=computers&sr=1-7&th=1

what about micro sd card with usb 3.0  card reader, for more flexibility

imo its already fast enough to run games on sd card itself

Have you though about adding PCMark to the benchmark collection?

Also the Kingston DT50/128GB is a good alternative.

The SSD comes with a USB 3.0 cable. Still bottlenecked but not as much.

What i meant by a small steam library was a few games, but big ones like rust, fortnite, gta5, ect It needs to be 240gb or above

For me thats £54 with a £12 shiping fee, we have it hard in the uk

Linus just has everything already set up on an SSD. Shouldn't be too expensive.

Yeah but if im fixing old comps and i dont really want to cross my fingers, take it apart and hope that it has a free sata port, and i have experienced HUGE bottle-necks using a sata to usb cable

The price must of went down since this morning, but i live in a quite remote area of the UK so shipping fee's vary
