I remember years ago I'd buy an external HDD and when I needed it internal I would just strip the case. Can you do that with external SATA 2.5 SSDs? I need a 2TB (ideally 4TB) to travel around with for a few months and I was just going to put it in a USB3.0 enclosure I have. But I'm seeing such great deals on externals today. I just don't want to get stuck only having it as an external in the future.

And, add on question, does it really matter anymore what brand 2.5 SATA one buys? Must it be Samsung?

Thank you!
