2TB Samsung 980 Pro at $100, pretty sure this is the lowest it's ever been. I think one of the best performance drives to stick in a Thunderbolt NVMe enclosure. *

* Check the manufacturing date, if its more than say 6 months ago you may need to update your firmware to prevent a pretty bad early wear out issue.

A few folks have asked about Thunderbolt NVMe enclosures. I don't really love any of the self powered ones. I use the OWC Envoy Express which is very stable and fairly small, but it's only half the top possible T3 speed and the price really needs to be adjusted way down.

There's a bunch of no name full speed T3 enclosures that hover around $100 after coupons/sales/etc... This one from Acasis (https://www.amazon.com/ACASIS-Enclosure-Compatible-Aluminum-External/dp/B0BB74BQVN) seems like the best price today. If I had to buy one today I’d get this.

@paul technical question, is it possible to have an app that would combine mastodon and bluesky feeds?
