Why not SanDisk?
Comment on Best external SSD for high-uptime use?

Your best bet is probably to make your own.
Find a high quality NVMe drive and put it in a USB enclosure.
If the USB ports or anything other than the drive fail, the data is easily recoverable.
Given your use case, buying an external drive is probably fine, just don’t get one from SanDisk.

Recent controversy over an absurdly high failure rate.

Might be fixed now, but i wouldn’t gamble.

My last 512gb ssd was dying more quickly than my oldest Samsung SSDs
Seems to not be a coincidence

Oh yeah definitely, after that mess I don’t feel comfortable getting anything more than little flash drives from them. Thanks for the idea!
