With USB3 available on the latest Pi it makes no sense not to use an
external USB drive. I have a 128G SSD, formatted to RISC OS, in a portable
enclosure, attached to my Pi. It was originally in my Iyonix, via an IDE
to SATA adaptor, and when we go away on holiday, I unplug it, take it with
me, and connect to my Pinebook; essentially taking all my files with me to
work on away from home should I wish. 

128G USB sticks are freely available now, as an alternative.
