Newbie here, what's the best setup for laptops without extensive drive bays built into their case? (zerobytes.monster)

I want a setup that is affordable but still potentially scalable if I were to get more storage in the future. I love the idea of a jbod bay that stores internal drives like this, and so I can slowly fill it with more enterprise hdd's as needed (although it runs into the problem of sata/sas compatibility). however, im thinking it might be better to either stick with an array of external drives instead, or forgo RAID entirely and get something like a toaster. I'm honestly a bit lost and the upfront cost of something like a synology nas is kinda scaring me
