I have an external 2TB plater drive that is starting to fail. I found that new 2TB drives cost about $70 while a 2TB SSD only costs $100 or not much more so why not get an SSD.

So what is the cheapest 2TB external SSD? Here are some I found for $100.

I know I can get faster drives by spending more, but I don't care about speed as this is a platter drive replacement, I mostly care about price and reliability. Which of these drivers would be best or is there another one I can find for even less money. And I also don't need a bigger drive as I have other larger drivers for that. Thank you.
