I've been using USB hard drives for several years to store my 8TB photo archive and related data. I thought of the HDs as storage and used Backblaze.com for cold storage and cloud backup. I seldom worked from the external HD. If I needed to rework an image, I'd search on the external HD and then copy the file to my laptop's SSD for speedy work and interface. When the rework was complete, I needed to put copies in the old Files to facilitate future usage and backup. Recently, I needed to search for several files on the external HD and was frustrated by the long search times, followed by the need to copy to the laptop's SSD and then move copies to the SSD. With this new external SSD my searches are very quick, finding several files going back to 2008 in less than 5-seconds, instead of 5-minutes. That's in a database of over 500,000 files. Once located, I can right-click the files to open it in my image processing software and work on it as quickly, as if it were on my laptop's SSD. I should have done this years ago. With my newfound quickness, I'm thinking more freely about digging up some old files for a new look. Using my laptop as a bridge from the old HD to the SSD, it took only a couple of hours to copy the 8TBs to the new drive. The SSD only got a little warm to the touch. It took around five-hours to compare the files to the files already on Backblaze, with the limiting factor being slow internet speeds at my office. Keep in mind that I wasn't uploading all of the files again, but Backblaze compared the files to the backup that it already had (probably date, type and size, but I"m not sure). It's not cheap, but there was a point where the old HD just wasn't fast enough in search mode. Also, if I tried working with a file while it was on the HD, the system was waiting on the drive too often and too long to use the HD. Now, with the SSD, I can search for and work with the files while they're on the external SSD. FYI, my laptop has 64GB of RAM and a very fast processor, designed for graphics processing. YMMV in a non-graphics workspace.
