I want to make a setup that lasts for a long time. I believe it would be best not to use a raid setup since it seems silly to have multiple drives running for basically USB 2.0 transfer speeds (Just fast enough to play Blue Rays), and I already have a backup of that data.

Preferably some external solution, a power cable, and a USB A output so it would be easy to plug into my media box

For now, I've been using a few USB thumb drives, which did the job. They were slow to transfer too and one of them died (tho it was easy to get it replaced via the manufacturer).

So I'm basically thinking about some smaller ssd, nvme setup (2tb each drive), but I'm having a hard time finding one that isn't just a single ssd or single nvme enclosure.

External hard drives also didn't sound so bad. Still, if I wanted a bigger capacity I would be stuck with Seagate One Touch Hubs and the question of how long will it last. In contrast, external SSDs seemed bad since they cost like 100 euros per 1tb while a decent 2tb nvme costs around 120 euros (150 euros if where count the enclosure).
