Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a 500GB external SSD for my iPhone 15 mainly for transferring/storing photos and videos. I want something reasonably fast, ideally around USB 3.2 Gen 2 or better, with a proper USB-C connection.
The problem is that external SSD prices seem pretty high right now, especially for the popular Samsung/SanDisk options.
My budget is under ₹10,000, preferably around ₹5–8k if possible.
I’ve seen options like the Samsung T7, SanDisk Extreme, Crucial X6, etc., but I’m wondering if there are any lesser-known brands or cheaper SSD + enclosure combinations that are actually reliable and fast enough for an iPhone.
Requirements:
● 500GB
● iPhone 15 and newer compatible
● USB-C
● Good real-world transfer speeds
● Reliable enough for long-term use
● Under ₹10k, preferably much cheaper
Would really appreciate recommendations, especially if you’ve personally used one with an iPhone.
Also, is it worth buying an NVMe SSD + USB-C 10Gbps enclosure instead of a prebuilt portable SSD? Is that actually cheaper/better for this use case?

I'm straight or that's how i always felt like it. Until i went into that rabbit hole of exploring different subs of women dressing up being confident owning up to themselves i feel like im bi. I really wanna experience how a woman feels like but I'm too afraid to ask anyone out or how do i come out or how do i even know whos who. I really wanna experience a proper lesbian relationship. But the country i live in its very hard to even talk about these things.

Random appreciation post but I JUST found this sub and omg 😭
I’ve literally scrolled through this entire sub and you girlies have awakened a whole other side of me that I genuinely didn’t even know existed 💀😭
Like??? The outfits, the makeup, the whole aesthetic??? I’m OBSESSED.
Y’all really said “here, discover your new personality” and I’m not even mad about it 😭🖤
I loooooove y’all, keep doing your thing 🫶

I’m stuck between buying a Maruti Jimny and a Mahindra Thar Roxx RWD, and I’d genuinely like some unbiased opinions.
This will be my and my brother’s first car. We’ll be splitting the EMI and running costs, so I want something that makes sense for both of us rather than just buying what one person likes.
My budget is around ₹16 lakh on-road.
Why I’m leaning towards the Jimny
I’ve always been more in favour of smaller cars. I like the compact size, easier manoeuvrability, and the fact that the Jimny is genuinely small and lightweight.
The biggest attraction for me is that 4x4 comes as standard. For roughly ₹16L, getting a proper 4WD system in a small, lightweight SUV seems pretty appealing.
We also plan to do occasional highway trips, hill trips, Leh/Ladakh-type drives, and some rough roads. I’m not talking about hardcore off-roading or rock crawling, but I like having the extra capability available when we need it.
The Jimny also seems like a more fun and unique first car.
Why my brother wants the Thar Roxx RWD
His argument is pretty straightforward:
“Our daily driving doesn’t require 4x4, so why pay for it?”
And honestly, I can’t completely disagree.
Most of our driving will be normal city/highway driving. We aren’t regularly going on trails or doing serious off-roading. A Thar Roxx RWD would give us a much bigger vehicle, better road presence, more space and probably a more comfortable highway experience.
The Thar Roxx also seems like the more practical choice if we’re going to use it as our only car.
My dilemma
The Jimny gives us 4x4 + compact size + off-road capability, while the Thar Roxx RWD gives us space + comfort + road presence + practicality, but without 4x4.
I know people will say “If you don’t need 4x4, don’t buy it”, but at the same time, I feel like the whole point of buying a Jimny is that you’re getting something very different from the usual SUV.
So what would you guys choose if you were in our situation?
Jimny around ₹16L OR Thar Roxx RWD around the same budget?
Especially interested in opinions from people who actually own either one. What do you love/hate about your car after living with it, rather than just comparing specs on paper?

I honestly dont even know where to start because this whole thing feels so fucking unreal.
Me and my girl best friend have been friends since we were kids. Like actual childhood friends. We have literally grown up together and been through so much. She has been the one person I could always count on and I genuinely thought we would always be friends no matter what happened.
She started dating this guy around 5 months ago. From the outside they honestly look super chill and happy together and I never had a problem with him.
But a few days ago I saw his ID on Bumble. Yeah I use Bumble too dont judge me
Obviously I got concerned and reached out to her. At first she was super worried and asked me everything about it. I told her exactly what I saw and even showed her what I had seen.
But after that she just started ignoring me.
She stopped answering my calls and texts and started avoiding me in college too. I finally confronted her and she literally told me that Im the one who is trying to get between her and her boyfriend.
Like what the actual fuck???
I tried explaining everything to her. I wasnt trying to break them up. I literally just wanted her to know what I had seen because shes my best friend and I thought thats what friends do.
But apparently she thinks Im the one behind her boyfriend now.
And somehow 12 years of friendship means nothing to her anymore because of this.
I dont even know if shes completely blinded by him or if she genuinely thinks Im lying but it hurts like hell either way.
Its only been a few days but I genuinely cant sleep properly because I keep thinking about how I somehow lost my only childhood friend over something I didnt even do.
I dont even want her boyfriend. I dont want anything from her. I just wanted my best friend to believe me.
I dont know what Im supposed to do now
