Any recommended enclosures for storing media files that uses USB (type A 3.2 gen 1 or type C) and approaches to take to prevent against data corruption or loss if the drive starts to get bad sectors?

I understand the quality of the controller on an enclosure is a big concern as well so I suppose reliability of a 1 drive enclosure makes sense for me when running 24/7 (not having active read/write 24/7 though)

I understand when using a laptop as a server managing the battery is a concern, it's a ThinkPad and I hear there is good software for managing the battery charging.
