I just noticed the last response (from gold_finger, back in December). Just as a follow-up , I got rid of Windows 10. It was fun to play with a new system a bit, but I like Linux a lot better. 8)
I thought the external drive was a good option, but rather than buy external cases I bought a Docking Station as I have numerous spare drives. I just sort of happened upon one of these looking at external cases as I did not know they existed:

So far, so good. There are quite a few different models of these around, not recommending this particular one, or any one, just showing you what I'm talking about.
I use my spare drives in the docking station for back-ups. I decided to put in a second 1TB drive not as a back-up, but for video editing, music, etc. and set up a partition on there to hold common data files (music, videos, documents). I figure the power usage isn't that bad, especially sioce the SSD uses very little.
Thanks!
