Im looking for an external storage option and id like to know which one youd pick based on how long the solution will last (Outer Quality), Speed factors shouldnt be important altough a suggestion is always good since i hate waiting. Im only planning to use the storage for information files and also for university (i may have to store those "virtual machines" and run it from the storage) so id like your opinion. I personally think the Rugged Flash drive is the best for an always moving environment like the one i talked about but i wanted to leave the evaluation for you.

I personally use an external ssd and it's nice to have the extra space, easy upgrade to a larger capacity, and spare ssd when needed. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

You're going to run out of space quickly on the Stealth SSD, go with the portable 250GB SSD. 

Also, just a sidenote, Gb (Lowercase b) is Gigabit, GB (Uppercase B) is Gigabyte. 1 bit = 8 bytes, so saying something has 64 Gigabits of storage is very different than 64 Gigabytes. Most storage devices are measured using Gigabytes. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

If your only looking at file storage information then id go for the rugged Survivor Stealth. 64Gbs should be more than enough for files and one or two virtual machines. It will also be very well protected over the T1. Its your personal choice tough.
