looking for recommendations for an External drive for Mac Mini
Hi All,
I have recently purchased a Mac mini with 1 TB drive. I intend to add unto 2 TB external SDDs to store my data.
My experience with external drives has not been that good. I have connected a few to my old iMac and they all keep losing connection from time to time, resulting in alerts saying drive was not ejected properly. This sometimes happens when I am adjusting the screen for example, causing a pull on the cable to SSD, but very often, the connection to the drive is lost without any apparent reason.
So I am looking for a solution where accidental bumps to the Mac Mini or drive enclosure would not cause the drive to drop connection.
I have come across drive bays like SanDisk Pro Blade station, but these are far too expensive for my use.
Are there any similar solutions that are more affordable and equally robust ?
I have seen Satechi hub for Mac Mini also, but that apparently heats up fast and also does not support the latest NVMe SSDs.
Appreciate any guidance on above.
Thanks in advance
