I need to buy a couple of SSD memory things but it seems there are newer options beyond a straightforward USB drive. Apparently, you can get these Extreme portable SSDs and these, less extreme-looking SSDs. I'd be looking at buying 500gb memory per thing so it seems I can go for regular USB drives or these fancy-looking SSDs.
As for usage, I'll be loading music onto both of them and plugging one into my Nvidia Shield so that it becomes the library for PLEX Server, while the other one will be plugged into my OPPO blu ray player so that I can play multichannel content as well as albums that simply must be heard gapless, like live concert albums and Dark Side of the Moon, etc (the OPPO plays gapless flawlessly and as my music computer isn't hooked up to my hifi, it's the simplest and best gapless solution; especially as I can navigate and play media using the OPPO music app).
So what's the best option - regular USB drives, or these fancier SSDs?
