Portable HDDs have become pretty cheap for the amount of storage they offer. While they are sure much slower than NVMe SSDs, in certain scenarios it can be a perfect choice.
In this video I'll review and benchmark Seagate and Western Digital external portable hard drives, so that You can understand whether it's a right option for You.
If You wonder whether it's a good choice for editing 4K footage straight from this type of drives - I'll be showing that use case in the video too.
