For reliable NAND flash storage on a modern PC which can make use of the higher speeds, I wholeheartedly agree the M.2 small form factor SSD drive within a USB enclosure must be a consideration. Or one of the external SATA SSDs which are physically bigger, with a USB cable.
I have been using a Samsung portable SSD with USB 3 connectivity for quite some time. I used to work in an area with very limited internet for weeks at a time and used the disk to put some media to read, watch, or listen on it at home that I could take to my work location to use during my time off. The transfer speed after upgrading from a standard USB drive to the SSD was amazing and I never looked back. Of course, there is a price increase for the increased speed.
