Which external drive – SSD?

Any view on the one to have? I am looking for maybe 500gb/1tb.

Don’t want to spend crazy amounts, but I might as well future proof myself as much as possible now and go SSD.

If I am wrong I am happy to be enlightened. I am also aware that SSD drives are a premium price right now.

It will mostly be use for storing photos. I assume I can store music on there too. I dont really know about this kind of thing. I have an old laptop and I remember using a 8GB usb stick to store data on.

I am getting a new laptop so want to transfer the data from my old one. I also want to share the drive between my laptop and also the ipad air we have at home. not sure if this is viable or not, I am just trying to avoid losing all my music, photos and other private files relating to mortgage, insurance, etc etc
