The USB connection will likely be quite slow, and some external harddisks will power save aggressively.
You could get a largish 2.5" HDD and hook it up internally, might be a middle ground cost-wise?
SSDs are fast; HDDs are slow. I would not want my operating system hosted on an HDD if there is any way to avoid it. An external USB drive would have slow file operations to and from that drive; an internal HDD would slow the entire system.
The OPs device can take a nvme SSD and an internal HDD. Unclear if the current SSD is nvme or not though, but I assumed it was nvme.
@CameronDev@programming.dev I don’t think there are sata HDD are there?
At 8tb, I can't find any, but here is a 5tb disk:

Check the thickness though, your device may not accept 15mm disks.
