Creator recommends custom hard drivesfrom @hellaclose
The creator begins by stating he will show his favorite hard drives, then critiques common pre-built SSDs like SanDisk for not meeting their advertised speeds. He presents his preferred solution: building his own external SSD by combining an Acasis enclosure with a Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD, showing the packaging for both. He highlights that he uses four of these 4TB drives, praises their aesthetic design, and concludes that this DIY method is both cheaper and faster than buying pre-assembled alternatives.

These are my favorite hard drives to use. I'm a tell you guys right now, a lot of these other companies, they promote 2,500 to 3,500 megabytes per second transfer speeds. I've used all the SanDisk. It actually is not that fast. I've tested it. These are actually solid state drives. This is the Akasys casing and then this is the actual memory itself. These are all that I use. Four terabytes each. They just look dope and they have rank on it, a little light. Save yourself a lot of money by just buying these cases and then swapping out the actual memory or you you can just buy both like me. It's still gonna be cheaper and faster than these.
