Hello all,
I love the SAMSUNG T5 series, but I d need a fast 4TB external portable SSD. Unfortunately, T5 is avail only at 2TB and smaller.
Budget : ~EUR 700 - 800.
I am thinking of a 860PRO 4TB plus USB 3.1 case, but I ve heard that some important commands like TRIM / garbage collection cannot pass the USB - SATA converter chip. Still, a 860 Pro would last a long time even without TRIM in my use case.
In addition, some chips on USB cases reportedly do not support >2TB, right? What a mess!
A good 2TB USB SSD is <400 EUR, while there is only one 4TB SSD (Angelbird) and it is ridiculuously priced.
How can I push SAMSUNG to extend the T5 to 4TB (at maybe double the price of the 2TB T5)?
Since my backup HDDs are 4TB HDD USB drives and I want to backup everything as easy as possible, I cannot live with 2 x 2TB SSDs and having all my data folders distributed over 2 partitions.
Any ideas?
