Hello all, I need some advise on a external data storage device/medium. I need to transfer approx 10Gb of files onto an external drive/USB memory at the fastest possible writing speed. This is due to a time sensitive issue that means I cannot leave a standard USB memory stick plugged into the device for long periods of time. Any advice on something that might work? I have tried a “fast” SanDisk USB drive, but it is too slow…Thanks!

    I have one of these! It’s great. I made it back when SSDs were cheap—256GB external NVMe was like 60USD counting the enclosure.

    Even a SATA SSD with a USB enclosure has incredible and consistent speed compared to any flash drive one can reasonably get.
