Hey , need help in selecting in one of this SSD , a friend can get it for me from USA

Samsung - T7 Shield 4TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Crucial - X6 SE 4TB External USB-C/USB-A Portable SSD .

The Samsung looks like the better option given the ruggedness, but they’ll probably perform similarly enough that you won’t notice a difference (depending on your use case).

That said, if you don’t need the ruggedness I’d probably just go for a regular 4TB internal SSD like [this one](’

Amazon.com: Silicon Power 4TB UD90 NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 SSD R/W up to 5,000/4,500 MB/s (SP04KGBP44UD9005) : Electronics’

) and put it in a 10Gbps enclosure - much cheaper and more flexible (replace enclosure in case of connector damage, put the SSD in a PC, etc). In fact, you could even buy it here and come out to roughly the same cost as the external options, so you get the advantage of easier warranty and such as well.
