Portable external ssd drive as a music source

I have no intention to buy a streamer or use a music streaming service like Tidal.

I do plan to  use  a Seagate Expansion Portable 1TB external hard drive 2.5 inch USB 3.0. as a source for WAV music files

My rational is that there are no moving parts, so no electrical noise. Though it may not be the perfect souce. I'm more concerned with mechanical noise from the computer itself. So I'll be plugging it into directly my DAC via usb 3.0.Placing the drive away from both the DAC and the Computer.

Any thoughts , comments?
