Individuals relying on macOS typically utilize various external hard drives to expand storage capacity.

You recently placed your old laptop HDD inside a SATA enclosure following an SSD upgrade, and now it's being used for storing archives and other data.
I collected several 1-2TB storage devices from my old setup and used NTFS for Mac to relocate my music and code to a new drive I purchased. After reformatting, one of them now serves as my time machine. I’m preparing to move everything to a file server soon, which could bring the challenges back again.
I used the NAS option for time machine backups and other tasks. It won’t fit in my hands at work, making it less convenient than a Thunderbolt drive, though it works fine for media storage. The Synology DS416 is what I’m using.
Do you believe those Thunderbolt drives are a good value? I’ve often thought they’re quite expensive.
