While I have been buying external enclosures for about two years, I really don’t know what I’m doing; blithely bumbling along thinking (hoping) there isn’t much difference amongst enclosures- so any choice is okay.
But now, I note that some enclosures support both SSD and HDs, some have a ribbed aluminum heat sync, an on/off switch, the chip set can vary, and certainly other features of which my ignorance abounds…
FWIW: Presently, my old machines are maxed out at USB 2, but I suspect all future machines will be some variant of USB 3.
In selecting a new enclosure, should I choose one for SSDs, HDs, or a hybrid?
If I use an SSD, what chip set should I look for?
Have you a favorite model or manufacture?
And of course, any other pearls of wisdom you care to pass along….
