I am storing stuff on Samsung T7 External SSD, while i appreciate its speed and thermal management, and I see new usb drives pack like 1tb in a very small package and claims to have fast transfers (But my old USB3.0 drives left a bad taste in my mouth, maybe USB drive technology wasn’t as good in the past). Also my external ssd is much bulkier and has to bring my USB3 cables…

I wonder how well does a Ext SSD perform against modern expensive USB Flash drive with the same amount of storage?
