Hello!
I've been using a Samsung USB thumb drive for the last 6 years or so and it's finally on its last legs. It heats up like crazy and loading files off of it requires repeat inputs and it can take minutes to load. Videos start to buffer every few seconds.
I've heard it's better to go for a portable SSD instead as they are more reliable and don't heat up as bad but the prices for the top ones are crazy right now.
I'm looking for something fast enough for apps and UI loading but not sure if I absolutely need to shell out for the top of the line latest generation expensive ones that I'm not sure the 2019 Shield can even take advantage of. I'm looking for a 1Tb that's fast enough for the Shield and is around $200. If that's too much to ask, I'd be willing to drop down to a 500 Gb one.
Many thanks in advance!
