Looking to expand my storage. Looking for SSD of any type.
-Portable
-Connect to PC via USB3.2 or USB4
-2.5" /NVMe
-Size 10TB. Might upgrade to 20TB in future. Can be 5x 2TB or 3x 4TB or whatever.

Not sure how to use NAS as recommended by some. Lost touch with PC hardware upgrade liao.

If you are looking for a single SSD, simplest option is to go with U.2 SSDs, such as the PM9A3 15.36TB variant.

However, the PM9A3 is rather sensitive in its connectivity to the motherboard. Eg if you use a PCIE 3.0 cable, the SSD will be undetectable rather than downgrade to PCIE 3.0 speeds. It has no issues running at PCIE 3.0 speeds if you connect it to a PCIE 3.0 motherboard via a PCIE 4.0 cable.

Not PCIE for the speed.
