    different model. this one is NVME and different design. 99 is still available at officeworks.

  Someone explain to me how nvme keeps its speeds via a USB connection

    If you look on the speeds, the answer is somewhere in the middle.

    Sata tops out at a theoretical 600MB/S, whereas USB3 10gb/s would theoretically top out at around 1200MB/S, so going NVME, even if not taking full advantage of the protocol, allows the drives to get closer to that max.

      So is this a higher speed than SSD? with it being NVME?

        SSD is a solid state drive, this is one. NVME and Sata are storage access protocols used on SSD's. NVME has a higher theoretical bandwidth than Sata, however there are other factors, the quality of the Nand Flash used on the drive, the internal controller, the max bandwidth of the PCIE standard the drive uses, etc.

        As a general rule though, an NVME SSD will be faster than a SATA SSD.

          @witheredcouch: What abt a Kingston data traveller like
          "
          Kingston DataTraveler Max USB 3.2 Gen 2 Flash Drive 1TB Read/Write up to 1,000/900MB/s - DTMAX/1TB"

            @sn809: Not familiar with that exact drive. With any of these, I recommend looking up reviews and benchmarks, especially as these drives in compact enclosures can have issues with getting extremely hot.

    If you’re using enclosures or products that bridges the NVMe drive with a Thunderbolt 3 or USB/Thunderbolt 4 controller, you can achieve almost the full speed on supported computers. Some enclosures even uses two chips to allow universal compatible that reaches maximum speed on whatever the computer supports. Though these products aren’t cheap. We’re talking about hundreds of dollars just for the enclosure.

    Though in 2022 there are NVMe to USB 20gbps direct chipset (meaning there’s no further conversion in between) available which will further bridge the gap of NVMe native speed, but not yet to Thunderbolt speed. However the only product I know uses that chip is Xiaomi’s portable SSD which is China only at the moment.

    Behind the scene, NVMe and USB can be considered as a form of PCIe.

    USB 3.2 gen 2 is at best PCI gen 3 x2. So, no matter how good your NVMe SSD is, if the USB port is USB 3.2 gen 2, it must operate in PCIe gen 3 x2 mode.
    USB 3.2 gen 2x2 and Thunderbolt 3 & 4 and USB 4 so far are all PCIe gen 3 x4. The only reason you would put a PCIe gen 4 x4 flagship SSD in such an enclosure is if you care a lot about sustained speed for the entire drive. There is maybe only 1 or 2 prosumer grade PCIe gen 3 x4 SSDs that can write close to PCIe gen 3 x4 speed consistently throughout the whole SSD. There are more PCIe gen 4 x4 SSDs that can do that.

  Buy a Samsung T7 - same speed, less money.

  (Is that better mods?)

    Could also maybe stretch the budget out a bit and get a 2TB T7 Shield when they go on sale for $230-250 too. I think the Sandisk Extreme performs slightly better than the Shield but personally I would happily trade that off and pay a little bit extra for double the capacity (and I guess the T7 Shield is IP65 rated vs IP55 if that matters for your use case).

    Not on sale right now but they hit that price point semi-regularly on Amazon.

    If this is Sandisk Extreme 1TB v2, then you need T7 Shield to match it.
