2bit MLC has been "professional grade" for years, if a consumer product doesn't specify it's likely TLC or QLC
Just make sure you label it and store it in a safe place. I have one for data and another for win 10. Both were invaluable when my MB burned and I had to replace it.Great idea. The USB 3.1'll be faster than you think; and the beauty of this is that you can physically remove the device when not in use. This mitigates your backups getting pooched by software SNAFU, electrical spikes or malicious parties. I'd get 2 which would mitigate one of them failing.
now many bits are stored per flash cell. it makes cheaper but less reliable.
slc days are over.
for backups use hdd.
