If Dale cares to search them out there are websites that compare M.2 SSDs for performance. There are a lot of types of flash memory and they can have VASTLY different speeds. When I put together this machine 4 years ago I asked the guys to put in a second 1TB M.2 drive. I went cheap with a Crucial. The machine is dual boot with Windows on the SSST, Kubuntu on the Crucial. mark@science2:~$ lspci | grep SSD 04:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Micron/Crucial Technology P2 [Nick P2] / P3 / P3 Plus NVMe PC Ie SSD (DRAM-less) (rev 01) 05:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Solid State Storage Technology Corporation CL1-3D256-Q11 NVMe SSD M.2 (rev 03) mark@science2:~$ Benchmarking later showed the Crucial to be much slower than the SSST. The cost wasn't actually that much less, so 'my bad...' It sounds like not a problem for Dale's 'copy cell phone data' application Mark
