I took advantage of the national subsidy to buy the beggar version of the Mac mini. The 256G storage is enough for daily surfing the Internet without downloading movies or installing games.
But I can't sit idle. I want to download some 4K movies and watch them, and find some relaxed and casual games to play, so I want to buy an external hard disk to install these files. When it comes to games, there may be certain requirements for reading and writing speeds. Please recommend them.
Only the following requirements:
No tossing
Good warranty policy
Good cost performance, the lower the budget, the better
Thanks to 🙏

Anonymous5720 Feb 20, 2025Read what a brother recommended on the Internet, Western Digital sn580, which reads and writes faster than the built-in, and will not drop the disk for a month I'm still waiting to see, with nas, 256 is enough for the time being

Anonymous42 Feb 20, 2025@ Anonymous5720 I'll be 2 months in a few days, and I haven't dropped it. The drop should have something to do with the box. Fanxiang is that the brand is not that hard, and the parameters are stronger than those of Western Digital. I hope it's not a false mark. I still specifically chose the 4000TBW one. I want to write more and be durable.

Anonymous4440 Feb 20, 2025Will 1t, 512g built-in be faster and useful?

Anonymous42 Feb 20, 2025@ Anonymous5720 Air conditioned room 26 degrees, showing 42 degrees. It's not clear how much it can reach in summer. It comes with a fan, although the fan is not very big.

Poster Feb 20, 2025@ Anonymous2356 @ Anonymous42 @ Anonymous5720 @ Anonymous9591 Someone recommended a set, Fanxiang S790E PCIE4.0 1T ¥ 362. 18 + Haibis ASM2464 main control hard disk box ¥ 292. 36. Personally, I feel that the price/performance ratio is pretty good. Thank you for recommending it here

Poster Feb 20, 2025@ Anonymous6720 The iPhone 15 Pro currently being used is also 256G. Because it has WeChat and photos, it takes up a relatively large amount of time. The Mac mini does not store either of these, and there are few commonly used software. Surfing is enough.

Poster Feb 20, 2025@ Anonymous4440 The demand is not high. At that time, I bought it for expansion/external hard disk, which was not expensive, much cheaper than the official upgrade.

Anonymous6576 Mar 6, 2025I bought a beggar's version of the 2464 hard disk box with an integrated docking station. Does anyone recommend the usb4/Thunderbolt 4 data cable? The merchant said it was best to have a Thunderbolt 4 coaxial cable
