• Don't listen to @Well_is_it he is on some sort of drug, maybe a whole pint of drug. Get that SSD tucked away inside your Mac, it will be even faster too as the USB port limits bandwidth by approx 1/4 I think... it'll be a 2.5 inch drive and you can fit it inside... go go go...

  • Seconded. Also, if any of Mac USB port / USB cable / USB-SATA drive case are older USB 2, rather than USB 3, then your SSD's speed will be even more limited. Lots of cheap USB drive cases on the market are still USB 2. Macs had USB 3 from about 2011.

  • Ha yeah this one has USB 2.0 printed loud and proud all over it. Also I've actually got a 240 GB SSD kicking about. would I do better using that instead of the 2TB HDD?
