Hi, TIA for any insight!

Want to find a good external SSD for file storage. Won't be using it for any active tasks, only for storage, so it doesn't need to be fast. 0.5 TB ought to be more than enough room for the things I need to store.

Any suggestions, either brands or models? Hoping I can find something budget-friendly, since speed isn't a factor.

Edit: Would an HDD potentially be a better / cheaper solution for long term storage? Is there any definitive idea whether HDD or SSD would last longer?
