SSD Advice
Hi all, I recently bought my first enclosure. I've been looking at SSDs on Amazon but I'm not sure what to go with. Can anyone recommend a good 20TB SSD? I'll be using it for Plex. Are there any good sales at the moment anywhere (I'm in Ireland, not sure where to look!). This is the enclosure I bought:

When I have a chance I'll check to received enclosure to see if its max capacity SSD is 16 or 20TB as it mentions both in the pictures and written description!
You're viewing a single thread.
Do you know how much theyd cost? Lmao
Sering refurbished 20TB ones for just over €200 on Serverpartdeals.com. Would they be reliable?
How... the hell are you finding 20TB SSDs for that price? 15TB ones are like $1k lol
Lol, going by some of the responses I'm getting I think I'm using the wrong term 😅 this is an example of what I'm talking about: https://serverpartdeals.com/products/seagate-exos-x20-st20000nm007d-20tb-7-2k-rpm-sata-6gb-s-3-5-recertified-hard-drive
That's an HDD, much cheaper (like 5~6x) for the capacity than SSDs.
It'll work fine. As for 16 vs 20TB you most likely don't have to worry about it. Usually those "limits" exist because drives larger than 16TB didn't exist at the time, or they existed but the manufacturer didn't bother certifying.
The only actually limit for something like this is 2TB. If it says it can do more then it has no effective limit.
Thanks very much, it's making more sense to me now!
