I got the 1TB stick and the enclosure, and the fire bags, in today. As expected, the Samsung stick is exactly what it said it would be. It's 1TB. Anyway, I put it together, added a piece of thermal pad to make sure it contacts the metal case top and adjusted my so called script to use the new stick. I also went with ext4 for the file system. I set the reserved root to only 1% tho. I doubt it will ever need it on that. I usually set to zero for this sort of thing. I got /etc, /root, world file and the really important, camera pics. I have those on my regular backups and the m.2 sticks. Some of those pics are irreplaceable. If lost with no backups, gone forever. Some people aren't even with us anymore. I don't know of anything else really important to I started the backup while I was doing some stuff in the kitchen. I'm not sure how long it took but it was done when I came back. Oh, just like the other m.2 stick, it runs cool. It has two sensors. It peaks out at 99F and 86F. Pretty sure that is nowhere near where it would reduce speed, throttle or whatever. It seems that aluminum enclosure dissipates the heat really well. I can't feel much warmth tho. We all know the Samsung m.2 sticks are really good. They are well known for the quality. While I've only ever had this one m.2 enclosure, I'd recommend it for sure. I really can't find anything bad about it. The sticks go in nicely, locks into place and the aluminum enclosure dissipates the heat really well. It also has the little LED for power and activity. The cable that comes with it is nice too. With the little adapter, it can use a type C or type A USB port. So, if anyone else wants this sort of setup, this is one that works really well. Oh, the m.2 sticks are in one of the fire bags inside my fire safe. I hope to not test and see if they protect it well enough. I been helping a friend cut up one large oak tree. Thing is about 33 to 34" across. We been working on it for almost a week. May take another week to finish. Some we can't use due to knots but still a LOT of firewood. Some of my joints aren't happy tho. I'm getting to old for this sort of thing. Glad I got this setup. Now I have my eggs in two different kinds of basket. Both baskets in two protection devices. Now let us pray. :-D Dale :-) :-)
