Guys,
Perhaps to clarify and hopefully before I get erased again ...
I bought a USB3 to SATA converter and 1Tb SATA SSD drive for either my Pi4 or Pi5 thinking of following an article in Magpi. It could just end up on an old Pi3. I then saw written on the drive box that the drive was only suitable for casual intermittent use and sought comment here.
The drive was quoted as qualified for use with Windows and that might have been the trigger for getting deleted, I added that my Windows10 laptop thrashed my current drive solidly for the first hour after boot up which to my mind is way beyond "casual usage".
