< Using this when cheap sub $20 SSDs exist.
This is a habit in part shaped by resources and in part shaped by some unique use cases. When going between computers for example, it is just quicker. I sometimes I would have to do this a lot. Plus I would be jumping between and testing different OS and configurations. On the habit end, people would always give me packs of USBs as I was the "techy" one and they would see USBs as "tech" to give.So I had a abundance.
SSD prices certainly have come down though and I have bought a couple of cheap TLC SSDs to test and mess around with. Certainly have noticed a speed difference at least. QLC SSDs have actually gotten cheap enough that they might rival the price of flash drives. I still have some distrust for some of the random failures I hear about with SSDs at that price range but considering the low quality flash of USB drives I probably can't complain too much on reliability. So, in other words, I am considering it (but probably going to continue to use USB flash drives for most needs like this because of the aforementioned abundance I have and habit).
