This is the new 4tb ssd I am considering, since I am running out of space on my laptops internal storage. Considering its on sale for $300 instead of $900, I think its a deal but then again im not sure if the sale is because there are issues with this type of drive or something.

I'm just trying to get something I can play movies and some older games from on trips and such, so the small size is also appealing. There is a non-pro version of this that is slower, but it only offers up to 2tb for basically the same value per GB. Not sure if I'd even get the advertised 2000MB/s speeds since there's probably going to be a bottleneck somewhere else in my laptop, but thats not a deal breaker since I'm not sure when I would need that kind of speed.

If you guys have input on any other external ssd recommendations or setups you use I would also appreciate that.
