Hi Jason, I use a 1TB one of these: https://uk.crucial.com/products/ssd/portable-ssds
Reformatted for Apple, Together with SuperDuper, I use it to back up my HD after every day. Can get a little warm when backing-up, but barely warm when not. Not a good idea to use (any backup disk) it as your only backup destination. The only guarantee with any HDD/SSD is that one day they will fail.
