So I have been looking at new computers and most of them come with SSD's
but they are so much smaller than my 2 TB computer that I am not sure
what is better. I read a couple of pieces on different groups but still
am not sure. SSD's are faster but them have a quarter of the room for
storage. I don't use my machine for basic stuff and am not a heavy
gamer. Any advice about this would be greatly appreciated.

It's a balance between the amount of data and what you do with it.
Also, it depends on your patience ^^ Some people really hate waiting for
stuff to happen on a computer, some don't care.
Generally, you put your OS and programs on an SSD, so your experience is
snappy: they are fast and have a low latency.
Then you put your data on HDDs (rotating rust), because you don't need
speed but gigas/teras.
As you seem to want to buy a new computer and/or new parts, you'd
install the OS on the new SDD, while keeping your old 2TB as storage.
