Personal External Storage vs Bandwidth

[ALlorens]

In the era of external devices, and USB 3.2 performance, what "Good/Redundant" solutions can an end-user rely on?

I have several 1TB NVMe external USB drives, mounted into a usb-c enclosure, and this works very well.

but it's not the perfect solution for "Business Professionals". 

I'm in hopes to enlighten the charts and maths, of USB transfer speeds vs NVMe performances - and whats available on the open market (Amazon, MicroCenter, etc.)

 

This may make a great topic for a video.

for one - business professionals dont lug around usb drives.

 

but past that.. i'm sort of not sure what you're trying to get to here. USB transfer speeds are what they are per generation, NVME performance is a mixed bag, check individual reviews of specific SSD's for that. as for what is available 'on the open market'... A LOT. a lot of what's available is just a rebadged version of the same things, but again.. the performance is (should be) what it says on the box.

 

the enclosures is a fairly boring topic, the same way SATA enclosures are just.. meh. you look at the ratings, you plug in a device, and it'll work as expected.

 

i'm curious though.. what is your usecase, where the performance of SSD enclosures is such a pressing topic?

As stated, "Business Professionals" don't have USB Drives. Because of their portability, it is a security risk to leave them on your desk in your office, of brining them from home and infecting the Business Network.

Business Professionals have a Personal Folder on the Business Data Server where they can store Several 10 GB's of Files. Being it is on the Network and not USB 3.2, USB-C or NvME, the data transfers as fast as the network data travels.

Business professionals are using SharePoint, Google Apps, etc.

 

That 1TB prove has a statistical point of failure. If you're backing up to the cloud why not keep it in the cloud in the first place.

 

The days of the on prem hosted data share are rapidly fading.
