Hi Karl,
I use the Mac mini (intel version) and simply use two external USB-C G-Tech Drives (Western Digital). Both are 4 terabytes and I have them both split into two partitions that covers image storage, media (music and movies) and one serves as a time machine. The nice thing about these drives is I can daisy chain them and add more later while still only using one USB-C port on the Mini.
If you plan on updating to the new Studio, I would still recommend using external drives and save $$$ on upgrading the size of the SSD. My Mini has a 500GB HDD which I basically use for the OS and applications, and I've not had any issues. As others have mentioned, having a secondary backup is critical in avoiding the heartbreaking loss of a failed drive. For this purpose, I also copy my "keeper" images and important documents onto a portable 5TB drive.
BTW, having two displays is sweet!
Cheers,
Greg
