[QUOTE="krs, post: 1826961, member: 67742"] That brings up another topic - reliability of an SSD vs a flash drive. Based on the little bit of reading I have done, there seems to be no difference. At least as far as the technology is concerned. SSD may have faster transfer rates than a flash drive, but for backup that doesn't really matter. For my purposes I could even use a USB 2.0 flash drive, but I see 32GB, USB 3.1 drives for $US8.00 [url=https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/accessories/apd/a9723810?mkwid=s&pcrid=341923695057&pkw=&pmt=&pdv=c&pdv=c&slid=&product=a9723810&VEN1=s,341923695057,901mtv7630,c,,a9723810&VEN1=s,341923695057,901mtv7630,c,,a9723810&VEN2=,&VEN2=,&cid=3852&cid=3852&lid=5736660&lid=&dgc=st&dgc=st&dgseg=dhs&dgseg=dhs&acd=1230881379501410&acd=1230881379501410&st=&gclid=CjwKCAjwyqTqBRAyEiwA8K_4O_i21Pv_t5tPhJT8vj8q7lskVO7sC6kXjkMedLPutSS7hZ2TkHPMSBoCDBgQAvD_BwE&VEN3=813904608616149678]Access Denied[/url] How cheap can they get????
