Spec me a cheap 500gb SSD for a media player?

A normal 500gb SSD or a M2 in a external case as they are a similar price?

Thanks

Anyone?

LOL , i was almost tempted to post a captain obvious gif.

You hear of people complaining about M2 drives getting hot and throttling or normal SSD's having appalling small bit reads ( media players have very little cache ) so i wondered if there was a preference between the two when running on a external USB socket?

Cheers Dude that makes sense.

Is there much difference between external enclosures or just get the cheapest?
