Hi,
I was looking for a portable hard disk to make an image off my c-drive and noticed that there are also portable ssd drives.
Does anyone use these in combination with laser scanning software?
Greetings,
Lieven

Re: portable ssd
I have and it really just depends on the model you get. Best combination I have played with was the Samsung 850 Pro SSD inside a MediaSonic 2.5" USB3.0 enclosure.
On a side note, if you decide to go this route, I have tested out multiple Vantec enclosures, commonly found at MicroCenter and have had constant issues with them (2.5" enclosures mainly). Dont know why, maybe its a different chipset, but they have constantly had problems from my experiance.

Re: portable ssd
We've been using the 850 Pros too. Rather than mess with enclosures we've just been using bare drives. Our desktop systems get hot-swap bays so the drive plugs straight in to a SATA 3 back plane. Laptops get an external dock that connect via USB 3 or eSATA. (e.g. http://www.icydock.com/goods_cat.php?id=105). The docks are a bit bulky to travel with but are fine for sitting on a desk.
