Products used:
Samsung SD Pro Endurance Card 128GB (used with the USB card adapter listed below) on Amazon: https://amzn.to/34t30eL
Rocketek (Ziyuetek) USB SD Card Adapter (to insert your Endurance card) on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Je38Wu
or the rebranded version Ziyuetek if the Rocketek is out of stock: https://amzn.to/2ZjRily
Samsung USB 3 Flash Drive 256GB (used for music files) on Amazon: https://amzn.to/34to6d1

If you MUST use an SSD Drive, the Samsung T5 is pretty good. Remember, larger is better. Amazon has them: https://amzn.to/2AVXX8U
