I have a relatively new laptop which unfortunately only has 1 hard drive (which now is starting to fill up - although Sierra itself is only at 30 GB) So far, I have only been trading 1 instrument (ES) but would like to add a few more. I was thinking of getting a (portable) external SSD and I wanted to get your take on this. In particular, 2 options that I would like to share. Not sure what the policy is around products, so I will just describe the specs and not link to a brand or product - 2TB drive USB 3.1 Gen2, 1000 MB/s Transfer speeds - 2TB drive USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 , 1500 MB/s Transfer Speeds - 1TB drive ThunderboltTM 3 mode has transfer speeds of up to 2700 MBps - I do have a thunderbolt 4 port (which I now use to connect a hub - especially when travelling - but this hub only supports speeds up to 1000MB/s. But also seems thunderbolt 4 SSDs are still very very expensive. I ran a benchmark test on my laptop and the speeds I get from my internal drive range from 4130MB/s (large files) to 16MB/s (small files) Do you have any recommendations for me with regards such an external solution? Is this sufficiently fast? In particular would 1000MB/s be fast enough? |
