Look at it this way:  if you can save $300 by having an external SSD
instead of an internal SSD on your desktop PC are you going to pay the
extra for the aesthetics, or are you going to save a few bucks?

 
Not using Apple, I don't have that problem.

Bullshit you don't, for above you just rejected external solutions even
for a desktop. And for your current system, just how many NVMe's can you
 install on your motherboard?  If you want/need more than 1TB, if you
buy a 2TB are you going to throw the 1TB away?  Or are you going to be
keep it available by putting it into a USB 3.2 external case for ~$12?

That's why I bought a high-end motherboard, I *can* add another NVMe,
without discarding the one I already have.  Will I do this?  No, but I
have the option, always there.

I still have an old 1 TB external hard drive, I use for my backups.
It's remarkably simple, just use a file browser to copy files, and use
its extra space for temporary storage when doing a clean OS reinstall.
Boom.

So you're admitting that you don't have any automated backup system
running?  And probably no more than a single instance either?  Let alone
any remote site backup.  You clearly don't value your data.

I update my external's backups periodically, it's OK.

Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
