answering my own question in case it helps someone else, turn out that
Flexx sell Jetdrive Lite SD cards that sit *almost* flush with Macbooks
so you can just leave them in (while noting approvingly the comment
about back ups etc). They're not the fastest though...

ah, thanks but this is SD not SSD;) The little stamp-size ones...
(but blimey, crucial are doing 4tb ones now...My first Crucial drive,
inside a laptop, was about 600 quid for 64 gigs lol...must have been
about 2008, I think...I still have it somewhere)

Hi Jason,
I use a 1TB one of these:
https://uk.crucial.com/products/ssd/portable-ssds
Reformatted for Apple, Together with SuperDuper, I use it to back up
my HD after every day. Can get a little warm when backing-up, but
barely warm when not.
Not a good idea to use (any backup disk) it as your only backup
destination. The only guarantee with any HDD/SSD is that one day they
will fail.

Hi Smuggers,
I've only used SD cards occasionally but am now using a Macbook Pro
14" a lot and could use extra loft space (ie leave it in
permanently). Last time I used a 'high speed' one it was painfully
slow and I see now they are still talking about how fast they are
now (but this is always in comparison with what the last ones were
like, isn't it).
Are newer ones (like this Sandisk one
<https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FCMKK5X?linkCode=gs2&tag=photow-21&th=1>
) any good for eg watching a film from? I know there are numbers
attached to these things but I've only ever found them the vaguest
help in practice. 'Watching a film' would be fast enough, it doesn't
need to be insanely quick for copying/writing (would use as temp and
to store large files rarely used etc)
Cheers,
Jason
