SSD recommendations

What SSD drives is everyone using for multitrack recording?

I read the list but it has not been updated with the current models available.
Also everything is usb 3.2 now and I read this (Not all USB 3.0 ports are fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0 – USB 3.0 ports using xHCI host controller drivers should be avoided and many are known not to support the isochronous transfer method used for streaming audio.)

Any help would be appreciate

I am using these 1TB SSDs from Other World Computing, OWC.

Here is the complete story. I have been using OWC enclosures with both SSD and spinning drives. The absolute most important thing to know is that I ALWAY use an external power supply/wall wart. I strongly believe that all the problems people have using the SQ to make USB multi-track recordings (USB sticks or external enclosures) is they use bus power from the board. I think that the amount of amps in the SQ just isn’t enough to make certain of a fail-proof recording.

Using external enclosures with external power supplies has meant (literally) zero failed recordings for me. I now use my SQ as my main recorder, abandoning my JoeCo recorder (also fail-proof but a whole ‘nother case to tote around) and using Reaper on a MBP over Dante as my backup.

Hmm, why did I have so much trouble with the Samsung SSDs?
