Cheap and best external SSD ?

In England they have one such proverbial saying:
"I'm not that rich to buy cheap stuff."
Where are you from?

@info999 Buy x(2) of these:
1x 22 Pin 7+15 pin Male To Female SATA Data HDD Power Combo - $1.36
 

Connect x(1) permanently to the SSD. Connect the other one to your computer data cable + power cable, then connect male & female connectors.

This is a good drive for a good price:
    WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD 500GB - $64.99
 

Use Macrium Reflect to clone your HDD to the SSD.
Use AOMEI Partition Assistant to resize partitions.

Very good way and not needs the bad USB at all! :dance2:

And the WD Blue 3D SSD is very good, too. And actually identical of SanDisk Ultra 3D.

There are multiple reasons why HDD and SDD are never made as USB!!
And if you for example buy a ready-made external USB one and open it then you will find inside again a converter in the middle. :coolwink:

 

P.S.: I hope you have at least USB 3.x because otherwise nothing would ever become faster anyway.

@info999 There is a conspicuous lack of thanks on your part, to everyone who has given his time to help with your question.
  Which solution did you use?

Gratitude is remembered, as is ingratitude....

Hey @info999

I guess Crucial MX500 is the cheapest and best budget SSD you can get as it has good read and write speeds for a budget SSD.

What's the size preference in gig or tera you are looking for?

 

If you are looking for a cheap one with a 3d nand tech you can try indilinx or goldenfir been using these brands for quite a while and seems good
