Your best bet is probably to make your own.
Find a high quality NVMe drive and put it in a USB enclosure.
If the USB ports or anything other than the drive fail, the data is easily recoverable.
Given your use case, buying an external drive is probably fine, just don’t get one from SanDisk.
Honestly, it’s so easy to block accounts, so if there’s only one bot in you community you should just keep it.
If they don’t like it they can block it.
