My external hard drive is more than just archival storage

I have two 1TB SSDs on my PC, but I like to keep them as vacant as possible. Call it OCD or something else, but I like to offload any data that I can to my 2TB external hard drive. Earlier, the only files I stored on it were old photos and videos dating back to my school years, effectively making the drive a media archive. Of late, however, I am using the drive to store everything from system images and video editing projects to emulators and my Plex library. Fortunately, I don't need any of these files frequently, so my external hard drive is the perfect way to keep all the data away from my primary storage.
