How small are the external HDDs you are using? Currently, my main laptop has a 1TB NVMe SSD as the main drive and a 2TB SATA SSD as the secondary drive. The 2TB drive was on sale about 18 months back and I added it to allow moving some data off the main SSD. Currently, I have ~16K epubs in my library and they consume 42GB of space. One of my acquaintances who uses a laptop with a 'massive' 256MB internal NVMe SSD is using a external 2TB USB-C connected drive (formatted NTFS) to store his calibre library which is ~34K epubs and last time I looked, it was taking less that 100GB on that external drive.

I do have a NAS which I use for backup and other purposes but I do not place a live calibre library that I am accessing from outside on it. I did try running a containerized calibre on it to use the content server but dropped that after finding it of little use to me.
