SSDs are cheap nowadays, you can very easily find a 2TB SSD for under 100 bucks.

Samsung 970 EVO m.2 SSD for $181, Very high quality, reliable storage device.
That's not under $100 US.
I can get this 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB (from Amazon, shipped to the USA) for under 100$: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-970-EVO-Plus-MZ-V7S2T0B/dp/B07MFZXR1B/
