I bought an m.2 drive enclosure. It’s bulky, but so damn fast. Plus it recycles old drives I’ve had lying around. Love it.

What is a strategy against it?

Not OP but get Orico, they make good stuff.
Whatever enclosure you get, verify that it doesn’t have a jmicron chipset, they’re garbage.

Don’t buy no brand cheap crap from amazon

Or indeed anything from Amazon. Even if it’s branded there’s still a chance it’s a complete fake.

Ironically, these days, Amazon is only good for books...

I tried to get my niece a book from there for Christmas, and all they had were some ratty used copies.
It’s genuinely amazing how far they’ve gone downhill.

It’s worse in that regard too. I’ve had to turn to Abe a few times because they didn’t have something, and I’ve also started to notice that Amazon doesn’t always have the cheapest price. Prime is useless for books most of the time too.
I really miss the days where you could get used books for <$1 or so plus shipping. Lots of penny books.

I bought most of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time hardcover. I already had some of them. The ones I got from Amazon are different. No embossing on the front cover. Side fonts vary (though to be fair, even the others that I already had do a bit of this).
They all have the original art and say first edition, but I’m skeptical and wouldn’t be surprised if they are bootlegs. At least I’m not collecting them expecting them to be worth a lot and a “fake” book is still readable.
