External SSD types?

I don't think that these dedicated usb2/3 ssds are good deals. First, you may not be able to pullthe disk for use as Sata or pcie devices.

Second, you'd probably get a speed limited controller which is cheaper for the vendor and

Third, you loose the ability to power independently.

I'd go for a regular ssd in a high quality box bought separately, with usb, eSata or Sata and separate power input. There will be a cheap regulator inside but this will be helped by a good external 5V power source.
