Hello. I have a WALL of DVDs,BRDs, box sets, CDs, you name it. I just moved to a new place and no longer want this big media wall in my living room. I am thinking of backing all that media onto a large SSD to use with my TV or Computer. I also have many 1tb and 2 tb ssds with family movies and photos that I would like to consolidate.

I am not the most techno-savvy but am not against learning.

Would these two work as a solution? Do I just put the black drive into the aluminum housing?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks
