I am looking for at least 1TB to store videos and pictures. Travel a lot, so it has to be as convenient and compact as a Flash thumb drive. I saw plenty of recommendations of using NVMe + enclosure for portable consumer storage.

Then I saw the SSK Portable options (while looking for their enclosure).. Also the Crucial X6..

What are the pros and cons? For 87 USD, you have a ready to use USB C or A portable solution. Got a new laptop with USB 4 and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports (I assume I can get that sweet 2000 MB/s read/write)..

Versus an M.2 NVMe + enclosure that I probably will never upgrade and will be permanently external as if I bought a Thumb drive..

TIA!
