Upgrading the SSD on your laptop can be expensive, so what about external SSD drives? Sure, you have the slower and cheaper drives like the Samsung T5 or T7, but what about some super fast ones that can do more than 2000mb/s? In this video I test out a special enclosure from Fledging - featuring a fan that will supposedly lower temperatures. I compare it against the premium XTRM-Q drive from Sabrent, and see which one is best...
