Really great ratings and hopefully shouldn’t break the bank. The T7 came out this year I believe so the price should have gone down. That being said, If you’re completely set on an external SSD, I would suggest a Samsung T5. In short - You can get by with what you have and still create dope shit lol. SSD’s are fast and work really well, but you really don’t need it and any drive will most likely do what you need it to do, even if it’s a bit slower than an SSD. You don’t necessarily need to worry about SSD until you gain some experience, start creating more complex tracks and start investing in a bunch of gear, samples and 3rd party plugins that you’re going to be running simultaneously in your sessions. They’re really cheap and just do the job. I used to just use 2 seagate backup slims (one main and one backup) plus Google Drive, and I was fine with that for a long time, even with the plugins that I had. That should be the first step! Develop a consistent workflow with a DAW and gain some experience before investing in tools that you don’t necessarily need.

I recommend that you find the DAW you want to use and run with it. The DAW you work with is going to be the foundation of your music making process. In my opinion, I don’t think an SSD is really that necessary for you right now.
