The real pro's have a NAS or DAS. Its one device that holds multiple hard drives. You can either combine their capacity into one large drive (it's called RAID 0, not safe for your data at all), or you can have mirror the drives (RAID 1) so data is replicated between them. This allows a drive to fail without losing data overall, and yes, drives will fail.
A NAS (Network Attached Storage) is Something like this. You plug it into your home network (your router) and thats how you get the files on your PC. Bonus is you can open it to the internet. Gigabit ethernet tops off at 125MB/s, theoretically just about as fast as any HDD (not quite in reality).
Or you could get something something like this: DAS (direct attached storage to hook up to your macbook's thunderbolt/usb-c ports. Those top off at 2.5 GB/s, way faster than any HDD array and about as fast as NVME SSD will go in reality.
This is to prevent you from getting to the point where yo're juggling several external HDD's, forgetting to plug them in to backup, etc. The best brands are QNAP and Synology, but there are a whole bunch of brands and reviews I haven't been 100% keeping up with. TPU has a bunch of good NAS reviews
Edit: Also, a 1TB internal SSD? Niiiice. If you put the crap on external HDD's, is 1TB still not enough room? From a reliability standpoint that'll be your best bet.
