Questions about Portable SSD deals
Can a NAS back up to a portable SSD?
Yes. Every NAS here can run a scheduled USB backup to an external drive. Disconnect it afterwards so ransomware on the network cannot reach the copy.
What is the Canada version of the Samsung T9?
The listing marked Canada is the Canadian retail version of the same drive. Check the listing's warranty terms before choosing an imported version.
SSD or hard drive for an off-site backup?
An SSD survives being carried around and is fast; a hard drive is cheaper per terabyte. For a few hundred gigabytes of photos and documents, the SSD wins.
Does USB speed matter for NAS backups?
Most NAS USB ports run at 5 or 10 Gbit/s, so a 2,000 MB/s drive will not reach its rated speed. A T7 Shield is fast enough for any NAS port.
