1. What are the best drives to purchase (makes and models)?
2. Which have the least difficulty accepting libredive firmware (makes and models)?
3. Price is an issue, but right no I'm just interested in knowing what works best and easiest.

I appreciate any help! Don't want to waste my time and money.

I have an M2 Mac running sequoia 15.5. I can also run a windows VM, if that makes a difference.

Thanks!!!
