Or you could buy the 1TB Seagate external SSD now locally for R1116
Seagate One Touch 1TB 2.5-Inch USB 3.0 Portable External Solid State Drive
Description says "Mini USB 3.0" but photo shows Type C so who knows.
Has anybody else noticed the quality of product descriptions on amazon.co.za is pretty poor, in general?

Description says "ssd", but the name and physical size of this drive doesn't indicate SSD...
Noticed this review:
I'd rather pass on this one.

That says a lot ^
NVME?
All SSD is, is a solid state disk. It could be of different form factors, interface and performance levels, eg SATA, M.2 SATA or NVME. All three are SSDs however. The way you can get SATA or PATA, SCSI, SAS or IDE connected HDDs.
What is NVMe SSD Technology? – Kingston Technology
NVMe is the protocol for SSDs, which is faster than the legacy AHCI protocol used in SATA SSDs and hard drives. The form factors for NVMe storage are M.2 and U.2.

We're talking about the physical size. Try and keep up...NVME?

Then why you said? "SSD not NVNE..."

The physical size has no bearing on SSD's.. a SSD could be 3.5" or even 5.25" if manufacturers were so inclined..
The original form factor of consumer SSD's just happened to be 2.5", presumably to ensure laptop manufacturers took it up, but again, the physical size has no bearing on SSD's, so you can stop with your unnecessary tirade now..

Ja, I'm just not convinced it's actually an SSD.
#1 I've never seen an SSD in a chassis like this.
#2 Description lacks "SSD": Seagate One Touch 1TB 2.5-Inch USB 3.0 Portable External Solid State Drive
#3 The price.

I’m friends with the Seagate PM. Unfortunately, the deal is correct. It’s an SSD (and the image is correct).
I expect to see a lot of ads for these going at R 1,500+ soon.

Whats the benefit of having an external 2.5" SSD vs external 2.5" HDD? Would it purely be longevity and capacity to take a knock or being dropped on the floor? I am however assuming that USB 3.0 throughput is going to be the bottleneck and speed within the drive itself being a non-factor due to that.
The SSD will be much faster
