external disk similar to internal one

My MBP 15” late 2013 retina display is running latest Catalina 10.15.7 OSX and has MZ-JPU512T/0A6 disk, which is 512 GB PCI-e 2.0 SSD, and I’m going to buy ssd external disk to test upgrade to new OSX Big Sur.

What kind of external disk do you suggest to buy ? What characteristics similar to internal drive?

I thought to avoid NVMe technology; I’d like to but USB 3.0 disk with SATA interface.

What do you think?

Why are afraid of NVMe drives?

You are aware the controller chip is the only difference between the different drives: SATA to Flash or PCIe/NVMe to Flash or USB to Flash

I personally like the Samsung T5 drives but that was quite a few years ago. Today I would go with the newer T7 drives.

Samsung Portable SSDs: T5 vs. T7 vs. T7 Touch

The issue you face is the interfaces your system series offers. The Thunderbolt 2 ports offer up to 20 Gbps I/O each and the USB-A ports up to 5 Gbps I/O each. The newer Thunderbolt 3 ports in the 2016 models onward offer up to 40 Gbps via USB-C connections.

Even still having a fast interface on your system still is limited by the technology of the drive. A SATA based drive won’t be able to match the SSD’s speed, so I don’t think you’ll get the same performance.

If you need something faster then you need a RAID setup using your Thunderbolt 2 port, sadly, the direction for most of the RAID systems is embracing USB-C or enterprise based connections which are just not portable.
