Portable hard drives never seem to last as long as internals - likely due to physical shocks, so SSD with its lack of moving part is a winner there.
I cringe when I see users literally drop (or throw !) portable HDDs into their bags.
SSD capacity just isn't enough to cover typical usage as a backup device. Manufacturers not using robust circuit board designs combined with the cable connectors often being a weak point mean that external SSD will fail too. Often you can pull the HDD from a failing external enclosure and drop it in a drive dock to discover the HDD is still good. QA on the drives > QA on the enclosures.
