Edit : To clarify, I meant that it should have been protected more. Current USB 2.0 microUSB ports doesn't look that fragile.
Upon closer look, it seems like a plastic pin was far too protruding and pushing the cable in pushed it backwards, snapping the whole plastic contraption behind.

Check the last page. The rule of thumb is to test things before taking them apart because taking them apart is the bit that usually breaks them 95% of the time. Unfortunately, this time it was the other way around and I didn't have another. The plastic should fit flush in the metal housing.
So excusse me if I get it wrong but an USB SSD is basically an USB key with bigger memory (without the SATA support of course). Or is there another difference?

USB sticks use cheap and low quality NAND because the read-writes are very little - you only use it for occasional use. SSDs use high quality NAND (hence the price) because the read-writes are more frequent. USB 3 drives are starting to change this a bit, because to get the speed requires better hardware.

ReplyI don't know, but there seems to be something wrong with the (design of the) micro USB connector.

The circuits will support much faster read & writes compared to a regular USB stick
That could take some time.
