That would work and that is a pretty good dollar per gigabyte ratio compared to other external SSDs but it's not an amazing deal or anything. A more cost effective way to do it is to buy an SSD built for internal use such as this Western Digital Blue SSD and pair it with an external drive enclosure like this one on amazon. There are many different models of 2.5 inch drive enclosures so feel free to shop around for one that looks good to you. Just make sure it supports USB 3.0 (or 3.1 ideally) and SATA III for the best speed. As for the USB 3.0 cable, the one that comes with the enclosure should be fine. The only quality factors to consider when buying a USB cable I know of are distance and ruggedness. Since you probably aren't going to have the drive tens of feet away, the only real factor to worry about is durability, however most well reviewed cables should be good in this regard. This one looks promising. USB 3.0 is a standard so anything labeled USB 3.0 will work to that standard.

Best Fans:
Linus for Noctua NFF12 and NFA14Us, the viewers and fansEdit: Added links because dont want to do work..
I did some napkin math using amazons bulk microsd prices:
This unfortunately won't win any price competitions. Like, across the board a similar sized ssd will be about half the price of the 10 slot MicroSD card.
I can't measure for speed. Maybe it is amazing, idunno. It sure as heck wins the cool factor though.
Amazon.ca had some a few days ago, but way overpriced. Like 250cdn. I have one and just replaced the psu fan with a noctua and was just curious what a stock psu would cost if I fudged it up.
Edit: nvm almost 500 cdn lol
If it is a simple power strip with a label, that's crappy.
​
However, if it has some kind of Power Conditioning built in to smooth out the power, then it might be worth something. Would have to tear it down to see how it functions and if it's worth it.
​
You should be the guinea pig and buy it, do a tear down and see what makes it tick to see if it is anything special :)
​
I mean, look at this, it might not be hard to reconfigure it to work in a power bar type of form factor.

Buy
a sound card, any kind will do.
2 sets of 3.5mm to 1/4" splitters
a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter (Don't need if your headset already has one)
a mixer like this
Hook up your 2 sound cards and headphones to the ports at the top of the mixer. Set only Teamspeak to use this sound card as playback device. Everything will still use the system default. Touch the knobs to adjust volumes.
Not a coffee expert, but I'd think something like this
Noctua is pretty much to go to for fans from what ive seen. Basic no LEDs and in my opinion faily ugly but they are huge among people I've spoken.

Edit: links and such
Why don't you do one and see if you get the same number of views if not more?
$120 on Amazon (this one doesn't have Arctic branding but it's the same truck)
I was looking at this one.
Should've gotten the 'Fredde'

I would suggest getting a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable instead of that adapter. Getting the cable instead would be much cheaper, and do the same job.
Here is one: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-32AWG-Mini-DisplayPort-Cable/dp/B0034X6SCY

Seems like they are unavailable though :(
What size storage did they want?
Just buy an enclosure - UGREEN USB C Hard Drive Enclosure 2.5 inch Hard Disk Caddy https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07D2BHVBD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_pmkPDbSRE1S5N

If you're looking for something zippy, but cheap, and riding the edge of system stability, take a look at Kingston 120GB SSDs which are like $45US at Amazon. Slap 2 of those in RAID-0 to make a 240GB OS drive, and then stick in a large 4-6TB drive for mass storage with whatever of your budget is left over. If you're feeling frisky, get bigger SSDs, but get a matched pair.
RAID-0 SSDs make for really snappy OS and game load times. Nobody I play with beats my load times into games.
The only caveat here is that RAID-0 offers NO REDUNDANCY... Just ZOOM! In RAID-0, if one of the drives fails, the RAID will collapse and the OS will crash so make sure you back up your OS off to mass storage (which why wouldn't you be doing that anyway?). Hell, with a 6TB in there, I wouldn't feel bad about backing up to the internal data drive, and then offloading every once and a while to USB for safekeeping.
