    Options to increase storage ?

    My cameras record to my blue iris pc which is a Lenovo M93p tiny form pc, the pc hard drive is a 500gb ssd. What are my options to increase this capacity to give me more space to store recorded video? Ideally something external would be easiest but are there any downsides to this?
