Default Using an external SSD drive with Pro tools

Hi, I have recently downloaded Pro Tools First, and was thinking of paying for the monthly plan for Pro Tools. So I started watching some videos to get some knowledge since I know nothing about it and the guy said not to record directly to the same drive you are running Pro Tools from, because this will slow things down etc. I was going to purchase a SSD for my Mac because that is apparently what I need but I'm very confused on which one I'm meant to get or if there is certain specs I need, there is one I can afford which I'll add a link to at the end of this but I don't know if it is okay or not. Also, I currently have a standard portable hard drive (I really don't get the difference between that and a SSD) which I have native instruments sound libraries installed on so can I have that running at the same time? It's all very confusing. Any help would be great, thanks.
