We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

That isn't because of the SanDisk, I have Samsung spinning drive (yes they were making that) that's 15 years old or more, over USB2 and it's faster than that.
Get a Samsung T7 or whatever Samsung SSD they have now, but one with metal case not the rubbish rubber ones. Or DIY if you want it slightly cheaper and to pick yourself the SSD and the enclosure.
