I’m finally upgrading to a 1 TB SSD and i’m not sure what to do with the ol’ HDD. some say they convert theirs into an external drive which sounds easy enough, but are there other potential projects?

    Depends on the HDD. If they have bad SMART results or are too small, they get disassembled for the magnets. HDDs that still have some life in them are used for cold storage backups.
