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

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.

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

Cheers
