    Get a cheap 2.5" SATA enclosure or an m.2 enclosure and throw a real SSD in it. That’s what I’ve been doing and I get significantly higher speeds for significantly cheaper, as well as not having any fail on me

      Yep. A good enclosure with a well rated drive in it is the way to go. Easy peasy to put together and/or pull apart if something goes wrong or you want to upgrade your storage capacity.

      Dont use SSDs for offline backups. The flash storage can experience random bit flips if not powered on every now and then.
