Hi! Been looking to upgrade to an external SSD (still rocking a lacie rugged mini HDD) for recording and maybe to grab a second for VI libraries/extra stuff. Any recs for fast/reliable drives that have worked for you? I know SSDs have been known to fail without warning signs and I already back up regularly elsewhere to a larger drive so I don't need a crazy amount of space. I see people using the Sandisk Extreme and Samsung T5/T7 a lot. Should I grab one of these? Something else?? What do you use and any quirks to consider? Would love to know what everyones rocking.

​

My specs:

Mac Studio: M1 Max 32GB Ram/512GB HD -- Running Sonoma 14.2

Pro Tools Studio v2023.12
