Apart from connector type, any difference between this and this?

Just a heads up, orico model bundled type c cable can be quite unreliable being able to provide the stated 5gbps/6gbps speed only under certain conditions. Someone here mentioned he needed to actually mark the orientation of type c connector on both sides to get the max speeds as physically type C cable is identical on both ends(incl up & down orientation).

Any deals on a good sata ssd to usb adapter? I have a spare sata ssd lying around and want to use it like pen drive.

I've been using this since few years.

I have been using this one for 2 years now: Orico 2.5 inch SSD Sata Hard Disk External Portable Case Cover USB3.0

Some other SSD enclosure options:

Orico SSD Enclosures

Same using since 2+ years. The clear case one. Bought it for 500.

Have been using mine for more than 4 years with various HDD and SSDs, use it with a different c type cable though. Had been reliable till now.

For anyone looking at the above product, remember that SATA drives are only capable of 6 Gbps max and standard USB 3 is 5 Gbps. So you're not likely to gain a lot over regular USB A cable by using the C cable

No, MX500 is better & dropped to around 3500 for a few hours during some major sales recently. Also, WD SN570 is much better drive & available at a regular price of around 4100 recently so prefer that unless your pc has no NVMe slot or looking to use the ssd as external drive via a sata usb enclosure.

Crucial offers same capacity SSDs in BX500 and MX500 variants and can be quite confusing for some people.

think this is also a great deal if anybody is looking for office chair.
Hbada E3 Ergonomic Office Chair

Received the chair and have been using it for some days. Quality is definitely much better than my 6k locally bought chair. Ergonomics are much better and everything is very adjustable and seems this should last a good while but only time will tell.

Sorry for digressing from the deal topic. (Also, I don't think such features are offered within this range.)

@demonic What price did you paid for it?

I paid 21.3k. I think this chair frequently comes up on discounts.

Haven’t received my chair yet..hopefully within 2 days i’ll receive the chair..can you please share some pictures of the chair!!..

it might not be top tier but neither is it on the level of say, EVM or Alektron or something. If the cost nearly the same, I'd say buy the SSD instead of an HDD.

EVM at least has local warranty. I dont think SD has that either. Not taking solace in the warranty part when the drive dies, but data backups should also be there, considering the sandisk saga.

PrimeABGB/OnlySSD is also filled with EVM products as well so that doesn't mean distributor/importer will take care of RMA.

Thank you all for filling last two page with AMAZING AMAZON deals. Still wondering whether this behavior is due to social design or environmental impact.
