I am beginner in this data hoarding stuff and I started with a 2TB Kingston NV2 SSD in a uGreen USB 3 enclosure, which I use to store my torrents. I am planning to go full on NVME SSDs because I am constantly moving from a place to another. NVME’s are more portable and have less risk of damaging as they don’t have any moving parts like HDDs.

That said, my enclosure works for a few minutes or hours. Then I notice it stopped working, the file explorer starts to hang and will only unhang when I unplug the enclosure. I suspect the issue is with the enclosure, so I am looking for a new one, I was considering the Anker’s fan cooled enclosure or buy a NAS dedicated for NVME’s.
