Hi!
I need an External SSD drive to use for play games from it
The games i will play are games that came out in the last years and some future ones.
Hope you can help me out since i am clueless about the matter... no idea which brands are good, what specs i should look for...
(Also... would be used to replace two external drives from early 2000s.)

Why..external in particular?...

because due to family reasons i am moving a lot between my place in the city and the house in the village.
An External SSD it's easier to carry than an entire PC.
but i am planning to switch to gaming laptop in future (second hand one).
I know it's not the same as a desktop, lower performance ... but mobility has the priority

Not getting it...are you saying that you have different pcs at different places to be able to use..the external ssd...where you move to?..
Since you dont have a laptop..
Either way...you are kinda fine..but.. loose connection due to movement or anything can corrupt the data..or disrupt the gaming experience...

Yes.
i have one PC at my house in the city, the other it's in the village at my parents.
I would install the games in an External SSD and take it with me depending where i am.
Only thing i need to know it's what model of external SSD i shoud get

Nvme m.2 enclosure + nvme ssd
any suggestions?

Just use an M.2 SSD
You can take them out/put them in in like 30 seconds
Easy to store if you keep the original box
If my main PC goes down I can switch to my old one in like 30 seconds by switching over my M.2

The enclosure itself doesn’t matter afaik, as long as it specifically supports nvme.
The drive can be any high(ish) endurance drive from a reputable brand

OK nice.
any minimum enclosure specs, speed i should look for?
SSD speed?

Nvme enclosures should have a 1050MB/s speed which is enough. For ssd speed, they’ll all be faster than 1050MB/s so any should work. Just get one with good endurance and you’ll be fine

what you mean by "good endurance"?

Meaning it can be overwritten many times. High TBW rating.
Just so you need to worry less about the ssd dying

OK thanks for the help.

the klevv cras c910 seems to be a good deal (at least in the US) with really good endurance
