They need space from each other

I got a usb4 adapter to put my disk in since I already had it. I think the adapter is like a qwizlib or something like that.

I got it because its like a big heatsink and no fan, good for when I go camping I didn’t want the fan sucking in dust. But I’m pretty surprised by how hot it gets, hot to the touch so not sure how good it is for the drive

I use immich for all mobile/old jpg and video stuff.

For raw photos I use syncthing to keep a synced copy from my nas to my external drive so I can edit on the go in full speed vs network connection.

My previous laptop had two m.2 slots but current tablet only has one so I had to move the 4tb external
