If you're ok with some bulk, go for an nvme enclosure. I have a sabrent one with a 256 GB crucial gen 3 drive in it, it's a slow cheap drive, still substantially better than any usb key and you can put one together for under $100 cad including a longer high speed cable.
I just did a fresh install off of my usb key and wow, super slow compared to any time I've done off my enclosure
Good idea! I don't need it very often (like maybe once/year?), but I'll keep it in mind the next time I start looking for my USB drives again.
