Purrhaps, but you must be kitten about that idea because what would claws a cat to work to begin with?

How much work would a working cat work if a working cat were made to work?
Given that there is no life at work, cats must have 5-to-9 lives.

Work is a four letter word to a cat.

The phrase "working cats" mean's somebody's lion to you. Don't be a p***y now and admit it, rather than litter the Lounge with your hair-ball humor.

If you wanted to buy a thumb drive today, where would you go in order to...
- [A] Maximize your convenience
- [B] Minimize your cost

I went to JB-Hifi the other day and bought a 500Gb SSD with USB- A, B and C connector cables. Very happy about that!
The drive is also very small, credit card sized.
Cost about ~ AU$ 100.

Cool story bro.
Now, about that thumb drive...
|
|
|
|
|
what's the difference between a thumbdrive and a portable usb ssd? does a thumbsized device shape factor really matter? 
|
|

Last I read, there is an actual difference between the two. Since neither have moving parts, they often get lumped together.

The original question was:

•[A] Maximize your convenience

You recommend store XYZ because of their SSD prices. It could have great prices on SSDs, but their thumb drives could be overpriced. Have you answered the original question?
|
|
|
|
|
yes.
as far as I understand it a thumb drive is a small portable storage. the shape format does not matter except being small. and that's exactly what I was talking about.
And I found this item excellent value for money to boot.

So, unless I'm missing something, you're saying a thumbdrive is, for all intents and purposes, interchangeable with an external SSD.
Consider that a thumbdrive is small enough to put in your pockets and carry around with you everywhere you go. An external SSD, not so much.
Different devices for different purposes.

this SSD is credit card sized! and about 4 mm thick! this slide easily in the pocket or in the wallet!
though, to be fair, it also need the connecting cable.... but it ain't much of a drag. and it's a 500GB SSD!

Show me someone carrying an SSD on a keychain and I'll shut up.
I've lost numerous thumbdrives and haven't cared too much in any instance; they're disposable at this point in time. SSDs? Not so much.

(time is money)
Probably online of a local store after checking availability or ride down to the store at lunch time if they have it in stock and can put it aside for me.
I'll probably pay a little more if I can get it (and need it ) immediately.

I suspect that the cost difference would be minimal, so I would go for option A.

These are such open-ended questions that answering them is useless. Even were I to tell you where (in Israel) I go for the cheapest hardware, I doubt it would be the cheapest for you once travel costs are factored in. Ditto for convenience.
