I own a 2019 MBP with an 8TB SSD and was wondering if this 870 QVO 8TB drive would be adequate storage for "Time Machine" or what would be a good alternative?

Question

Accepted Answer

Good day,
If the SSD is used for Time Machine, I assume that the actual internal 870 QVO is connected externally (SATA6 to UAS (chip in the adapter connector)), then the SSD is connected to a USB 2 or USB 3 or USB-C Gen 1 or Thunderbolt-c.
I have had very positive experiences with Windows 10 and such connections in terms of speed. Only once did an SSD with Thunderbolt crash (total data loss). I'm still working on the cause (cable?, adapter plug?, chip set? etc...).
As for Apple: if everything was built transparently, it should work technically. Unless Apple has built in a check that prevents "wild" components from being used.
Greetings
