If the speeds do not increase then all this extra space would be wasted. Even 1TB at SATA-III speeds is like pushing things trough a keyhole.
You are out of touch with what is fast and what is not. 1TB at SATA 3 speeds is very fast. You know some people still use 12TB HDDs at less than SATA 2 speeds and they are fine. For flash drive 50MB/s sustained is good and totally acceptable. And somewhere at 10-15 MB/s is acceptable speed (not for 1TB models).
Bigger and cheaper but not noticeably faster. The bigger size is of little use if the interface is the bottleneck getting things to and from the drive. And due to the speed bottleneck people are not moving around huge files on these drives
Keep saying that to yourself. Obviously 1TB SATA III SSDs are unusable:
But also faster, more durable and does not thermal throttle. The weight is a non issue at 53g. Thats 1/3rd of a normal smartphone weight. I dont see many people complaining that a 150g smartphone is heavy. So complaining about 53g seems silly.
That doesn't change anything about it being hideous and clearly overgrown for a simple USB stick. It's still as big as 3 or 4 USB sticks. It's not compact.
Even a bigger moron transfering such small files manually instead over the network or wirelessly.
You can't always predict if there will be something like that and in my country absolutely nobody does that. You have a presentation, then you bring files. Obviously, you can use cloud, but that is if you want to show whole audience your email address and even then pray that network is stable. If not, you are screwed. Sorry, but hauling everywhere an aluminum radiator is moronic and so is relying on some network to transfer important stuff.
Yea and a 31€ NVME if the same capacity gets over a 1000MB/s.
Yea and you need an enclose just as expensive to make it usable.
Both bad deals. The Corsair one is also super old. Not to mention that these higher end USB drives are much bigger than their 30€ counterparts. And they likely still throttle.
Not really, Samsung is a good deal. That Corsair is the fastest that shops sell locally. And no Samsung Bar Plus is pretty much standard USB stick size.
Like i said. M.2 SATA + MS10c is the same price. Even cheaper.
No you didn't, your solution is more expensive by 10 or 20 Euros.
With DIY NVME user can choose what port to use. With USB you're married to whatever the manufacturer decides to give you and using USB-C or other ports still requires a cable. Plus Silverstone literally has M.2 SATA enclusosures that have a rectractable USB-A connector that defeats your whole argument.
The problem with your argument is that there is no need and won't be any need to in 10 years to bitch about USB-A ports not being available. So you will never really need to use anything else or adapt it. And if there is a need for you, then there are adapters.
Besides USB drives have gotten bulkier over the years. Try putting two of these side by side to a laptop that only has two USB-A ports or has one port already occupied by something else. Good luck with that. In that case a cable is actually the better solution rather than putting strain on the connector with the rest just hanging there.
No it's not, because those Samsung flash drives are quite small and not any bigger than old flash drives. Here's their marketing picture:
It's literally as big as USB-A connector itself and it's clearly not a problem connect them side by side.
