It’s incredible how much the prices have fallen and that’s how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.
The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it’s a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it.
I guess that’s what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.
This is why I have a USB Hub and MicroSD cards for drives that aren’t OS related.
I have
256GB Mac
256GB “Work In Progress” microSD Card (torrents, files I am working on, encoding, etc.)
2 1TB MicroSD Cards for DRM Purchases (iTunes and Apple TV) + Non DRM content (content I ripped and encoded to convert to digital and podcasts, audio, video, etc.)
I just really like the portability of SD Cards and USB sticks.
Your experience isn’t wrong, it is more likely to happen, however, if you prioritize portability, SD Cards and USBs are great for that and inconspicuous if you go somewhere public or need to share something with someone at school without drawing too much attention.
They can be failry small though, no? The NVME form factor allows for something that is maybe two times longer than a usual USB stick, so it’s still reasonably small and a tad harder to lose

I usually have one USB stick tied to my keys, just in case. I can’t imagine carrying an enclosed SSD everywhere with me.

I’ve had SD cards fail catastrophically though, unlike ssds and hdds.
