I take smaller sized external SSD with 1.5GB/s over this huge one any time ... sequential read/write does not need more than 1.5GB/s , and IOPS is almost the same ... Size is what matters more when it comes to external SSD ...

If you want faster speed , use the onboard SSD ...

How about adding a footnote that it's a sponsored news? How can you say in the title that it's fast, secure and reliable when this is an announcement of a product? A good practice in news portals in my country is they specifically say when it is a paid article (sometimes they allow or block comments upon advertiser's request, informing about such fact). Or a footnote in case of a review, eg product received from company X, that had not right to alter the outcome. Are you going to rise journalism standards or what?

Btw, anandtech is gone now. I didn't follow any English IT portal except that one and tomshardware. Any recommendations? Possibly without crappy clickbaity news?

I need external 8TB SSDs because that is how I back up my images (photographer) multiple times on single drives. I would love this because I work on a very top-end desktop but can't spend 2,300 bucks on this drive. I thought two years ago that by now we would have 12 to 16 TB external 20 to 40 Gbps SSDs at about 500 bucks. But not even close....

Get any Thunderbolt3/4 (40GBps) external case , and install your choice of NVME SSD in it ... the empty case price is between $50-$100 ..
If you want more than 8TB , get a case with dual NVME SSD inside ...

example : https://satechi.net/products/usb4-nvme-ssd-pro-enclosure


specs :

USB4 SSD enclosure can easily support M.2 NVMe Drives (sizes: 2280/2260/2242mm - up to 16TB) PCI-E Gen 4x4, max bandwidth 8GB/s; real reading/writing speed up to 3840MB/s making it the perfect solution to expand storage, upgrade the system, back up files, retrieve and recover data, and transfer data. Plug and play, no driver needed.

I hear you, but I will not run an array or NAS of any kind and along with that am a RAID-hater from way back.... I want single fast 8TB SSDs (both external and internal). I have 4 inside my PC and two outside. My problem is I currently have about 6.5 TB of raw image data that I back up (not to the cloud). I'm going to need 12TB SSDs within 2 years. My goal - single fast SSDs each with everything on it (all my image files). One master 8TB PCIE Gen 4 M.2 on the motherboard backed up 7 times to various single 8TB SSDs (both SATA and M.2 SSDs).

Thanks! I have that M.2 SSD on my Motherboard already. But didn't know about that USBC4 enclosure!
As a result I am buying that SSD and the enclosure right now and it will become my single-copy off-site backup! That gives me 8TB that will connect to my TB4 port on my Motherboard hopefully at least at USBC 3.2 Gen 2x2 speeds. But I won't know until I try it. My TB4 ports sometimes throttles down on USB C devices even though TB4 is supposed to be USB-C 4 compatible. But it will be fast.... I just wonder about the heat with no heat sink, or maybe the enclosure has a form of heat sink.... I suppose I would have to buy the version of the 8TB SSD with no heat sink.
