For years I have had two external drives always connected to my home Mac Mini M1.1 The first is a 2 TB external SSD containing all my work and personal documents, the code for the scripts and applications I develop, documentation, and so on. A second mechanical drive keeps all my photos and music, as well as a large software library, mainly for macOS and Linux, which I started archiving more than twenty years ago, when you couldn’t find everything online, and which I still keep updating today.
