External 1TB SSD needed. Budget 8k.

[john1911]

Just curious, why do you need a high-speed external storage? Especially considering you already have 300MBps one

I'm repurposing the 300MBps (Crucial MX500) as internal storage. I just need a replacement, so getting an upgrade aswell.

My Asus Arion gives about 900MBPS . If you are interested can bundle a Kingston nvme SSD 1tb with it.

Thanks for the offer. I'm pretty sure it would be out of my budget.

I was under the impression that the slowest USB3 is theoretically rated at 5Gbps (625MBps) so it shouldn't give less than half of its rated speeds. Orico might have cheaped out on the controller.


Yes, please share the product page/link here. Thanks.

It is a generic one, so have to find an equivalent link, but will not find it on Amazon. I was proposing to actually sell mine since I am not in need of external storage at the moment.

Attached the CystalDiskInfo and CrystalDIskMark screenshots. I have the disk currently paritioned into live linux, encrypted and non-encrypted storage and thus it is showing up as 450 GB on Drive E.

Hey, thanks for the offer. Sorry, I would like to buy it new. Thanks though.
