As a note some users have reported certain drives not working not matter how it was formatted. I am working on a list, but since I do not have every drive out there it is dependent on users posting info on the drives they use and if it works or not.

The drive should work. In either case, please post back with if it works or not once you get it setup.

I can't recommend either one as I do not use an external drive. I install my backups over network. Loading speed might not be faster necessarily. I don't know all the specs of Switch in terms of the internal bus speed of the SD reader. USB 3 will be pretty fast though.

iirc, you can't install dlc and updates on the hdd, it have to be done on the sd or internal flash

ofcaurse you can't play online with the hdd connected, you need to mod your console for using hdd, and you should never play online with a modded console
