Sure, Oyen's 4TB drive is expensive, but how much is your time and data worth? Compared to other external SSDs, Oyen's 4TB drive offers good value for money. The 8TB version is even better. I will still use spinning platters to archive data (my 19 year old archived drives still work reliably) but my daily and weekly backup modes now use Samsung T5 and Oyen U32 SSDs. I will add more high capacity Oyen SSDs as my budget allows. I should note that my operating system is MAC Big Sur 11.4.
