TBH, you should just buy an internal SSD and pair it with a USB adapter.

Any specific reason why?

For one, they are generally cheaper than your usual external drive. They usually last longer, too.

I see, thanks. I'm still stuck in the mentality "the more parts there are, the easier for it to break" :P. Or that it'd affect the speed in some way

Agreed, but in this case the external drives have the same USB to SATA/M.2 adapter internally. So the amount of parts is the same, but they can be replaced individually.
Also, the seperate adapter can help reusing any other old internal drives. For example as an offsite backup.

Enclosure and NVMe are cheaper than internal and probably of better quality.
