I'm thinking of using an NVMe SSD as one backup method but I don't have a compatible motherboard right now (I'll probably get a new rig later this year). I do have a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port.
For the time being, the only way I can use it is as an external drive through an M.2 to USB adapter like this (not necessarily this particular model).

I'm aware that there are SATA-only, NVMe-only as well as SATA + NVMe combination models, and that the speed will be limited to USB speeds.
If anyone is using this type of adapter, could you share what kind of real-world performance you get?
