Is there any way to store extra Roms on an external hard drive for Dolphin on Ubuntu?

I quickly filled my SD card storage up by downloading Roms on Dolphin. Is there any way to connect an external hard drive to my Switch and load the extra Roms on there or would I have to partition a second SD card exclusively for Roms when using Ubuntu/Dolphin? Thanks in advance!

May not be helpful, but in general with Ubuntu, you can safely save any file on another drive by turning it into an .tar.gz archive (using your file manager is easiest). The archives can be de-archived where you want the original to be. (This way you can store more Roms until you figure out a better way.)
