Hi Everyone,
I have a Qwiizlab USB C Hub with a SAMSUNG 870 EVO 4TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD drive to store my Lightroom and Apple Photos and some other documents. However the Qwiizlab caused me only problems. First it stopped detecting SD Cards and now it can't find the SSD Drive any-longer.
As an interim solution, I have my SSD Drive connected via a SABRENT USB 3.1SATA Hard Drive Adapter. It works but looks strange as it has no enclosure and is just connected to the cable.
I'm looking for a more permanent solution. I saw recommendations for the SAMSUNG T7 Shield at one point. Is that still a good option?
On the other hand I don't need a portable external hard drive - but just something that goes well with my Mac Mini... that's why I liked the Qwiizlab because it has the same form factor as the Mac Mini. What are the external drive that come in a desktop version? Or, are the portable drives what people are using now even when it's for desktop usage only?
I'm willing to spend some money on it , but I don't need the fastet (ie. NVMe) but something super reliable that acts almost like an internal drive.
Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks!
