I am thinking a 1t drive to be safe but from the feed back here looks like 1t kinda the minumin.

I am going to get external storage for my projects or a storage I can back up to.
Whatever internal drive you get do NOT get a Fusion drive which is a combo of a small ssd and slow spinner hard drive.

External drive for sessions is a good idea. I know you can run sessions off an internal ssd but for backup/cloning purposes a separate external drive is a good thing. Also a good thing is that you're thinking about backing up stuff. A working clone of your system drive is excellent to have; those of us on Macs tend to sue Carbon Copy Cloner to do the job. And for safety's sake do NOT leave the clone/backup drive connected and powered up all the time.
