New SSDs ligtning FAST....

I think I'm done with old SATA SSDs. This includes the 2.5" units meant to replace 2.5" spinning HDD. All SATA SSDs are so slow compared to modern NVMe. And that's an understatement!

My new NVMe based direct-attach backup SSD operates over a USB-C port and USB 4.0 protocol on my Mac Mini M1.

I maintain direct-attached backups as well as NAS backups for our all of our computers including the music server.

The chunky aluminum enclosure is a heat sink for the NVMe SSD and it looks cool.

SATA Disk Speed LEFT | NVMe Disk Speed RIGHT || The NVMe SSD is nearly 5x the speed of SATA

The Mac Mini internal NVMe Disk is similarly fast

Aluminum NVMe SSD enclosure and my old SATA favorite in Blue. Bye bye Blue!

Why? My backups complete almost 5x faster on NVMe storage.
