MS All Models External SSD, Volumes or Folders….?

[MarkC426]

I have an external TB SSD connected to my Mac Studio with data/itunes/scratch disk files.
These are currently setup just as folders on the one drive.

Are there any advantages/disadvantages of setting them up as seperate volumes/partitions rather than folders..?

Nope. If SSD die, everything good-bye.
