I build my own version of Linus DIY High Speed USB and need your input

[sputniq]

Recently I watched a Linus video called " Build Your Own SUPER FAST Thumb Drive!" (link below) and I was on board and I purchased the WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB and SilverStone enclosure.  As soon as the purchase  arrived I realized that i made a mistake. I should have gone with the 1TB flash instead of 500GB. My only question is will the 1TB work without with silver-stone enclosure? The reason I am asking that is because I want to store virtual machines on the external drive and the current setup just is just not enough. I am actually very impressed with the way this turned. 500GB in my pocket? I never thought of that.

I do not see a reason for it not to. The specifications from the SilverStone website do not state that there is a max capacity that the VIA VL715 controller can handle. If you'd be swapping the same WD brand M.2 for the 1TB version and the 500GB version works then so should the 1TB but I'll try reading into the documentation.
