Hi!

I have an extensive sample library of audio files (about 7 TB), which I use almost every day for work. At the moment, I have two different SSDs (4 TB each) that I carry around. However, it's a bit inconvenient, as I use twice the ports and it's a bit annoying to update and search the library, especially with soudly.

I thought of buying a 8 TB SSD, and at the moment there are 4 available: SanDisk, Samsung T5, Samsung MZ, and WD_BLACK. I would choose the last one for the high read/write speed - although it's not that fundamental, as it's kind of a storage from which I export audio files every day, so I don't think speed is essential.

The question is: since I would connect/disconnect and bring around this SSD often, is it a safer option than HDs when it comes down to durability and damage? Or should I save myself 600 € and just buy an HD?
