I hunted around just yesterday for an external ‘drive’ and there are some brands I avoid but it’s hard as about every search result is either “BUY IT HERE” or “100 best external drives 2023” or “Usb devices come in a long range of different ways to let users both use them as a way to store, but also access and back up important information, might it be … (AARGH)” …
I hope I went ok with a crucial X9 Pro 1TB (109€ shipping included). I won’t be using it a lot, mostly for swapping around data (second kids getting my 2600X 2060RTX).
Well well here I am explaining things a bit too much, but almost by the fireplace, thanks for listening and good night ❤️.
Yeah thought almost exactly about that, but then again I thought I could also go with an existing HDD (2.5 or a 3.5 why not, I won’t move it around much, got some old sub TB ones) and a cheap enclosure, and I think finally the 5 year guarantee (which for me is worthless in money, but at least hints that it’s not garbage) and the fast usb that should actually work without a hassle made me jump ship.

I’ve not heard anything bad about crucials external ssd devices
You could always just get a nvme ssd and an enclosure, might even be a bit cheaper to do so.
Something like these two https://a.co/d/fky2wil https://a.co/d/d3rXqG7

It’s a smart setup though, if it works!

Get a NVME and m.2 USB case. Might not be cheaper but almost everywhere else better.
