Mac extended external hard disk or sd, for linux virtual machine, please give suggestions!

my younger brother has a macair model with a minimum configuration of several years ago. There is no problem with speed for development, but there is not enough space. I would like to add a peripheral storage for linux+nginx+python3+php-related development, whether to add a ssd or an ordinary hard disk, or sd or other methods. Please give me some instructions and suggestions. Thank you

sd is not reliable, the damage rate is high, the read and write speed is limited, and the method of external hard disk is not very convenient and elegant. Adding a ssd is the best way, but the disadvantage is that it costs a little more


to buy a better docking station and directly use the removable hard drive 1T. The virtual machine throws the removable hard disk, after all, it is only a folder


if you want to speed up, use the ssd removable hard disk.
