I'd like to get an external hard drive or SSD (not sure which is best) where I can store and play 4k movies from. I want to be able to connect it to my smart tv and play movies straight from the drive, without the need of having to transfer the movie on a smaller usb drive (which I've seen some people suggest), as I won't always have access to a laptop/pc to do the initial transfer.

So what would you advise I get that is best for my needs? Or maybe i'm overthinking it and it doesn't really matter.
