Hi,

I need to get an 8 TB SSD for work - I have two 4 TB ones, but it's kind of inconvenient when I move from studio to studio and they usually have very few usb C ports available. Also, when I update my library with Soundly I have to do it twice and it takes a long time.

So, I thought of getting one of these three: Samsung T5, SanDisk Extreme, WD_Black SN850P. I excluded HDD as they're noisy, cumbersome, and more prone to failing as I need an intense, daily use, moving them often from place to place.

By confronting them, I think the samsung it's too slow (although it's got a nice case), the sandisk is a middle way, and the WD the fastest one, but I need a case. I can't find one that I know will work for sure for that amount of storage. Can anybody suggest one? Or, if that's a bad option, which other SSD should I get?

EDIT: I've seen the Samsung MZ SSD too, would that be any different?
