It's a portable drive covered in rubberized plastic.
- r0l1 3y agoUse a Portal case with heatsink. You'll find some cases on amazon.
- Tempest1981 3y agoDo you have a model # or more info? Amazon search isn't finding "Portal" (except mid-tower). Google finds a mini-ITX case. The SanDisk is roughly the size of a credit card, maybe 1 x 5 x 10 cm
- alecco 3y agoSome aluminum enclosures have fins. But an external enclosure with an actual heatsink would be much better.
- bombcar 3y agoI assume that’s iPhone correction of portable. Look for a metal case that directly contacts the NAND.
- Tempest1981 3y agoAh, thanks. Looks like it may have an actual M.2 inside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDT_wl2sPF4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDT_wl2sPF4 (1 min teardown)
- r0l1 3y agoThat's the model I use: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07NCMHG5H https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07NCMHG5H Hope that helps!
- danparsonson 3y agoMy bad - I should've looked up the model rather than assume you were talking about a naked NVMe drive - but to put my comment another way, I think we should all be treating modern SSDs as devices that need proper cooling, so next time you buy a portable drive, consider either putting one together by buying a metal enclosure (with cooling fins if possible), and put an SSD in it, or else try to find a pre-packaged drive with a metal case.
