The reason I like SSDs is there's nothing to break. Hard drives fail sooner or later and for backup, SSD is great, albeit more expensive. In my laptop, I have 2 SSDs and one HDD. I store all my critical stuff on the SSDs and the data on the HHD is backed up to the cloud.
Also, Thunderbolt3 uses a USB-C connection and is essentially DP (display port) and USB-3.1 combined. You should be able to connect a USB-C drive to the Dell. I recommend the Samsun 850EVO SSD drives.

I have 500GB SSDs in several computers, but I also have HDDs for programs and data.

Just purchased a Dell laptop with a Thunderbolt drive. Anyone using this technology? Looking for portable hard drive recommendations?
Just bought a few large SSDs after considerable research: Samsung is about as good as they come reliability-wise.

Well, if you want "the best"...

LaCie was picked as the most durable in the link above.
The wirecutter.com likes Seagate drives for some reason, but I wouldn't take one for free.

CooledgeR is right about Samsung be reliable and you pay for that with their pricing. Another manufacturer I have good luck with is Verbatim, their portable SSD drives are very good and 1/2 the price of Samsung for a 2TB drive. I beat the crap out of mine, I am an IT Director, and I carry one in my toolkit for emergency backups of PCs that are failing. I cannot seem to convince some of my "Users?" that the best place to store their data is on the File Server not their local drive, they seem to think they know better than me.
