I plan to install a 4-bay, hot swappable SSD dock to replace the
existing DVD in my only 5.5" externally accesible bay. To fill it, I
will get up to four 2.5 inch SSDs of 1 Tb: MX500 by Crucial. My plan is
to use the SSDs for backup, but not in a RAID configuration.
I would appreciate opinions on my choice of SSD, as well as which brand
of dock is recommended: ICY DOCK versus StarTech. On Amazon, the ICY
DOCK mentions a lithium battery but the StarTech doesn't, and I'm not
sure why it's needed.
I have exactly the same SSDs installed. Working in Btrfs Raid1 mode as
/home in my desktop.
