are you sure there wont be any problems installing this onto an external ssd with higher speed rates and depend on it without losing data cause i will surely use it completely at every time everywhere

Oh yes there will be issues.
I just put that link there to show that it can be not, not necessarily that it should be done.

It will be significantly slower than a regular internal drive.
What machines are you planning on plugging this in to?
You saw that it requires Win 10 Enterprise or Edu, right?

"losing data" should never be a concern...this is what backups are for and why we stress them. Accidents happen all the time.

I meant what PC, not what drive type.

Never make any backups?
There are two types of people - Those who have lost data and those who will lose data.
No one can guarantee that you won't lose anything.
"oops, I dropped the drive"
"oops, I got a ransomware infection"
"oops, I accidentally deleted something"
"oops oops oops..."

Just for Arduino, you will have much easier life with Linux installed on external SSD.

but i still have unity also which cannot run portable and needs to be installed so i am going with windows to go as ssd are meant to for OS and Files Transfer at High speed

which Internal or External ssd should i get for this one of at least 250GB
