USB Drive for watching movies on a tablet

I'm looking for a portable device I can plug into my tablet/phone to watch movies while running on the treadmill.
I was going to go for a USB stick (Sandisk?) but saw a lot of comments complaining about the pendrives being notorious for overheating.
I'd appreciate some feedback/options on this!

I have used these: https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/portable-ssds
They work great.
I also have a few m.2 nvme/sata enclosures.
I like this one the most - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RVC6F9Y
I basically just reuse old m.2 SSDs in them and they are functionally the same (and potentially more reliable) as the portable SSDs you can buy.
