I have an external 1.5TB USB HDD on this Odroid N2+. It is always somewhat busy since I have a torrent client running as a daemon. I noticed recently that the HDD gets super hot.

Is there some other stoage medium I can use to prevent this? I know nerds like to use NAS or something like that but it seems super expensive and overkill as I don't really need that much space since I am not a compulsive hoarder.

The SBC does not have anything like SATA ports or whatever they are called so my only two options are eMMC and something that works over USB. eMMCs are hard to come by where I live. So I am thinking something like a USB SSD could work here? Thoughts?

Thank you.
