I've been connecting an external 5TB HDD (WD) to my 2019 Shield Pro for my Plex library

I've decided to upgrade it to SSD for 2 reasons

Less likely to fail and it might be easier to seek in 50+ GB remux files

I just noticed that it would be cheaper where I live to buy a Samsung 990 Evo plus plus enclosure than buying a Samsung T7 or Crucial X9 pro I was originally planning, I usually leave the HDD connected 24/7 to the Shield and I intend to do the same for the SSD

Any downside to the 990 Evo Plus option I might be overlooking?
