It's not showing difference between external usb ssd compared to hdd for xsx.
Or are you talking about the custom cartridge which will perform same as internal?
Hooking up ssd usb drive i would expect closer to the nvme than the hdd.
Will repeat myself, shame doesn't have usb c, and also gen 2 usb.
One thing that I've been noticing on Amazon from people buying USB-C gen 2 (10 Gb/s) is that a lot of these enclosures are generating a lot of heat and the drives are throttling to below 1 GB/s even though the enclosure can't go much more than 1 GB/s. Since my next NVME drive purchase will lead to having to evict one of my older 1.5 GB/s drives, I picked up a gen 2 USB C enclosure to test. I'll be interested to see how it performs and how hot it gets during reads and writes. If I have to, I'll put a fan next to it.
Regards,
