Thanks Data
I'm leaning -and will probably go with- the SSD drive in the new computer. I do have a couple external drives, both are of the HDD variety. One is 8TB the other 1TB. I have been considering a back up to the backup as external HDD drives aren't *too* expensive.
About every four months I backup my computer to the 8TB external. I probably should do it more often I know.
Just for shits and giggles here's some file sizes from my Canon R5;
One photo in RAW format is 60MB.
Video in 8K can be up to 2600Mbps.
My previous camera was 30MP and 'only' shot 4K video which I was able to edit although not particularly well. The R5 is 45MP and I am unable to edit 4K video from this camera. Forget about 8K.
I don't do a lot of video however but I would like to be able to manage it periodically. Forget 8K.
