Hello
Two cousins need to solve the following situation:
Exists two laptops where each one:
- Have M.2 NVMe with 500GB and 1TB respectively
- Have Thunderbolt 3 and 4 respectively
- Can not be opened to increase the SSD, they are new and is not wise lose the warranty
About storage and being not the case:
- If is only need it more space to store then is enough buy a pendrive (USB Flash Drive)
But the situation and being the problem is:
- Is need it more space to store and use data at realtime
For example for:
- Rendering in architecture
- Editions of video
- VirtualBox .vdi files for each one with 500GB
Therefore because is not possible:
- Upgrade the current "M.2 NVMe"
- Buy a new "M.2 NVMe" and put it within the laptop itself as secondary storage
I thought the following:
1. Buy a "M.2 NVMe" with a higher capacity (2TB, 4TB)
2. Buy a Thunderbolt adapter for "M.2 NVMe" to Laptop
Yes, I know the difference about data transfer between
- "M.2 NVMe" directly to the Laptop's mobo
- "M.2 NVMe" through the Thunderbolt adapter
Of course the latter should be slower than the former. How slow? I don't know but because it is Thunderbolt it should be faster than USB Type A,B etc.
Therefore you as company and according with your own products
Question
- What is your best suggestion(s) for a Thunderbolt adapter for M.2 NVMe to Laptop?
I am assuming should exist as:
- Hybrid adapter to work as either 3 or 4
- Specific adapter to work as 3
- Specific adapter to work as 4
Of course, it involves the Generation and Lanes of the "M.2 NVMe" too
Thanks in advance
p.d: If you have a better suggestion, pls let me know
