That's what I've been using for a few years.
You might be able to find a used one for a bit more than your upper price limit.
The nice thing is you don't wind up making a coaster.

using old win10 internal sata type. I bought Unitek USB 3.0 to IDE and SATA Converter External Hard Drive Adapter Kit for Universal 2.5/3.5 HDD/SSD Hard Drive Disk, from Amazon for around 30 bucks. it is good for in home use because of the bulk and weight.
