Hi,

I have a M1 Mac Mini with too small internal storage. I have an 830GB Photo Library on on 1TB Sandisk external SSD, and some other (300GB) digitized videos/negatives on a 500 GB external HDD.

As soon the photos won't fit anymore, I was hoping to find a 2TB for the photos library + other files, and a 3TB external HDD for Time Machine backup for all together (Mac internal storage + photo library + videos)

Now I see there is 'regular' (?) SSD or NVME M2 SSDs (in an enclosure?)

What is recommended? NVME + USB C enclosure? Is there a difference between those or does only internal SSD matter?

Also any HDD recommendations?

Thanks!
