Hi all, I recently bought my first enclosure. I’ve been looking at SSDs on Amazon but I’m not sure what to go with. Can anyone recommend a good 20TB SSD? I’ll be using it for Plex. Are there any good sales at the moment anywhere (I’m in Ireland, not sure where to look!). This is the enclosure I bought:

When I have a chance I’ll check to received enclosure to see if its max capacity SSD is 16 or 20TB as it mentions both in the pictures and written description!

    That’s an HDD, much cheaper (like 5~6x) for the capacity than SSDs.

    It’ll work fine. As for 16 vs 20TB you most likely don’t have to worry about it. Usually those “limits” exist because drives larger than 16TB didn’t exist at the time, or they existed but the manufacturer didn’t bother certifying.

    The only actually limit for something like this is 2TB. If it says it can do more then it has no effective limit.
