I got started with the 970 m.2 Nvme drives when I pulled one from a dead Lenovo Carbon X1 laptop and put it in the SSK enclosure. I was so pleased with the form factor and speed that when I bought a second SSK enclosure I went ahead and ordered a second 970. They are going for $43 on Amazon - how much less can a 1TB go for?

They generally go for about 50% more than that in Australia.
I watched enough videos and read enough websites to know what I want now,
thanks to everyone here 
It’s been a big catch up session on PC tech.
