My cheap ass has been thinking about buying a bigger hard drive for my Start 9 box and I saw Seagate external drives branded for game consoles on sale...

Are they SSD or spinning platter? Spinning platter over USB is going to take a very long time to sync. I experimented with an external USB 3.0 SuperSpeed spinning platter external hard drive and a raspberry pi 4, and it took a month to sync the chain.
