Which one is the Best External SSD for Nvidia Shield TV PRO 2019?

I am looking for a 500GB SSD

Shouldnt you be looking for a NAS rather than a SSD?

I have done a lot of research in this area. The two best SSDs are Samsung and Crucial's MX series. Either of these will work very well.

I am not sure what is inside the T5 and T7, but it will not be the latest EVO series. Samsung EVOs have 40% of the market.

The T series will, most probably, be Samsung's older SSD's in a box. You can get a external box for under 500 and save somewhere around 2500 for a 500gb.

Cheers.

What does it mean?

Look for enclosures that can house a 2.5 inch drive with a SATA to USB connector. That is all you need.

Any links on Amazon ....?

Just go into Amazon and search for '2.5 inch SSD enclosure'.

Orico seems a decent brand. QZ is there but expensive.

Why SSD? SSD doesn't offer any benefits over HDD for AV applications like storing Movies/Music. I would rather spend that extra cash buying an HDD with a larger size. Moreover, if you plan to use them 24*7, an external SSD is probably a bad idea considering they tend to get super hot (at least it's happing with my T7).

You can’t mount a normal spinning hdd as internal storage , sheild will complain it’s not fast enough. SSD works without any issues.

I Just got a USB3.1 M2 casing and an 1 tb m.2 NVME drive and it works faster than any other usb drives I have seen

I have used following combo for years without any issues. Crucial 480GB + Transcend enclosure!

Thanks. I got the Crucial X6 and WD Elements Portable SSDs, and in both cases, they got pretty hot when I accidentally left the Nvidia on overnight. They did not die or get damaged, but this did scare me.

Now I am wondering if I should get a hard disk that is built more rugged and with an external power supply (such as the one in the links below).
