So, anyway, what is the best/most reliable form of extra memory?

Well, obviously eating lots of grassfed meat is the way to achieve that.

external hard drive ,most have an auto backup setting if you plug it in to a usb port or they can be used just for storing data(rather than the os and the data)

a tb is a reasonable size and not too expensive

extra ram can be got and plugged into the motherboard with nowt but a screwdriver to open the case(this needs to be compatible with the machine,external drives tend to be universally compatible

i dont know much about external solid state drives except you get less storage per £ and they are very fast which is useful if using it as part of the machine rather than just for extra space.

if the machine has space for another drive inside it it needs a little setting of jumpers and some commands for the os to get one drive to hold the os and the other holds data

I cannot see much sense to a solid state external drive with a normal internal drive: better to put the SSD inside the box.
