I have a Samsung t7 2tb portable hard drive filled with movies.

My question is, which is better for hard drive longevity - is it better to copy a movie from the hard drive each time to my desktop and watch it from there, or just always play it off the hard drive?

I watch a couple of movies a night. Is it better to plug n play and absorb the 3 hours a day usage and wear and tear, or is it better to read and copy 2 movies (approx 2 Gb) a day? Which is better for the SSD lifespan?

Any help much appreciated.
