Something like this tool-less Sabrent NVMe enclosure ($30 https://a.co/d/2JOZsHn https://a.co/d/2JOZsHn) paired with an inexpensive M.2 SSD. Not sure how gracefully the enclosure downgrades to USB 2.0 speeds, but it's very handy and very fast. The SSD doesn't need to be fancy. It's overall bigger than a typical thumb drive, but much more reliable and the SSD can be easily swapped out. The detachable USB C cable on the enclosure is also very convenient.
