[upgrades] Anker® 60W 7-Port USB 3.0 Data Hub with 3 PowerIQ Charging Ports + Samsung 250 GB 860 EVO M.2 Sata III Solid State Drive for Crispy Stream + Local Recording :)

Today I received a few little updates in the post, actually I also had the enclosure for the M.2 Sata Drive a while back but I’ve included all three links below anyway and because I did’nt want the title to be extra massive.

amazon links.. .

Samsung 250 GB 860 EVO M.2 Sata III Solid State Drive
Anker® 60W 7-Port USB 3.0 Data Hub with 3 PowerIQ Charging Ports
ZTC Thunder Enclosure NGFF M.2 SSD to USB 3.0

The reason I bought these three things is really about convenience for saving and recording video streams locally without dropped frames for both OBS recordings and screencasts.

I want a fast drive and this was one of the better ways to do it — plus I have it as a ‘scratch’ drive to make video editing in general faster, think of it like a super fast 250gb drive to save temporary files too, the faster that runs the less chances of frame drops.

The good thing about the Anker® 60W 7-Port USB 3.0 Data Hub with 3 PowerIQ Charging Ports is that it comes with a powered data hub as well as three separate ports that I can have charging cables on — a port for lightning cable, micro usb and my dedicated Fitbit cable all neatly next to the computer.

I did have an unpowered usb 3.0 hub with 4 slots but I filled that up quick and I think it pulls too much power from the computer — hoping that this seven port powered will make a difference to have multiple devices along the usb track — data transfer of up to 5Gbps on the 7 ports.

p.s — the links to the products are amazon referrals links, if you use them I get a small commission which assist me in upgrading my kit too at no cost to you at all, win win! :)

also. ... mental headspace upgrades too. ..
