More important than capacity I think is the speed of NVMe M.2 SSD compared to regular USB3 in terms of random reads. I think the latter is at least 100x slower.Ozymandias wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 8:55 pmAt current prices, what they're asking for a partial set on USB, allows you to buy a Samsung SSD 970 EVO NVMe M.2 500 GB, which has triple the necessary capacity for the whole set.Ron Langeveld wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 7:57 pmMy sentiment exactly.

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
