I was able to build AOSP 10 on my system with 8GB RAM using a HDD - with some difficulty. For your 16GB system it should have easily done. My guess is that the external SDD is the problem. They mass storage protocol is not optimized for build.
My System was: Ryzen 3 3300u Quad Core. 8GB Dual channel RAM out of which only 5.81 is available for use. 1 TB HDD OS: Kubuntu 20.04.1 I found a few things: The build process is both I/O and CPU bound. I will write out the steps once I aggregate all together.
