Don't know why you would want an external drive, since you can add one internally (although only SATA SSD), upgrade the one in place, or both. But if you want to go external (maybe in addition to the 8TB you could have internally), consider these: 1. Samsung T7 Portable SSD ($999.99 ($100 off) at Best Buy last time I looked). Best Overall: Highly reliable and great for daily use. Performance: Offers read speeds up to 1,050 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2. Available in 2TB and 4TB.Features aluminum casing to protects data from drops up to 2 meters. 2. Crucial X10 Pro Portable SSD. Best for Raw Speed and price, with up to 2,100 MB/s read and 2,000 MB/s write. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface. Palm-sized, unibody anodized aluminum build with an IP55 water/dust rating. 3. SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD. Best rugged drive, ideal if you take your mini PC setup on the road. NVMe speeds up to 1,050 MB/s read. Protective silicon shell, 3-meter drop resistance, and an IP65 rating. Includes a handy carabiner loop to secure it safely to gear or bags.

It specifically states that there is no microphone input, and there is not indication of a dual headphone/microphone, so you would need an external source (btw: no such word as "extersource") whose signal could be output through a USB port, If you have a traditional turntable, which has a low-powered output, you would need both a phono preamplifier and a dual RCA (RCA is the typical output on turntables) to USB adapter. Alternate methods would be a device like the Ion Vinyl Forever or a USB phono preamp. There are also devices that enable a Bluetooth connector, but I am not familiar enough with those to provide more useful information.

There's a detailed answer to this question elsewhere, specifically referencing Steam, but it is appropriate here as well. Read it.

It's good for light-to-medium Steam gaming, indie games (like Hades or Dead Cells), and older or eSports AAA titles (similar to CS:GO, League of Legends, GTA V), but it will struggle with demanding modern games. On those, you will get smooth 1080p gaming only by using low-to-medium settings: very low resolutions and heavy upscaling (like AMD FSR) to produce an acceptable frame rate. Upgrading to 32GB can help improve integrated graphics performance by sharing more system memory as VRAM. The 1TB SSD is a good baseline space for several medium-sized games, though large modern games (which often exceed 100GB each) will fill it up quickly. It does have a USB4 port, meaning you can technically connect an external desktop graphics card (eGPU) later if you want a major gaming boost, but, aside from the extra cost, there are a few tradeoffs.
