Easily over 1.5TB, since I also do video.

If you're saying that Seagate external HDD is several years old I'm assuming it requires a power supply? Is that why you're not able to take it anywhere?

External SSDs are much more portable these days and can be used anywhere. I use a 1TB Samsung T5 which is a popular choice. No power supply required and they're easy to toss in a bag. I've encountered no issues. You'll be spending just shy of $200 but it's well worth it (most portable SSDs at that storage capacity are similarly priced, anyway).
