Look for proper exrernal HDD/SSD case with its own PSU. You can find some info about compatibility with rpi.
Keep in mind that SATA to USB A adaptors exist and they work (with SSD at least), but its best to avoid them imo. Ive been using SSD on Rpi4 like that, it was working fine, but after corruption happened I found out it couldnt complete SMART test every time (another SSD didnt have that problem).
Good advice, thanks.
