SE SSD - Help

Mong500n · 01-31-2023, 04:05 PM

Hi All,

Im so new to SE’ing, but times have gotten slightly tight for me lately, no sob story! I'm glad to be where I'm at. However, I am in need of an External SSD I have a Samsung one scoped, its 98g, I'm from the UK, any idea which retailer would be best to try?

Potentially Currys with the EB since its small? The item is £200.

Currys or obviously Amazon are a good choice.

Is the SSD visible externally?

I would presume not, I haven’t bought an SSD in a while but usually they come in their manufacturers box.

Currys has CCTV cameras In place, so be sure to establish If the SSD Is visible.

They're all factory-packaged.

Ah then I’m confused. Visible in packaging provided by curry’s or whoever I order from? I would rather not do DNA as I wouldn’t want any driver getting in the shit.

You can EB this. I just checked on youtube some unboxing videos and you cant see the item, as its inside the box. Is this the one you want? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrqLIKr6...liptroniks

If you EB the whole thing (box with item) then the driver might get involved. If you just say the item was missing from its manufacture packaging you're good to go.
