I run a AMD A8-7410 with 8GB RAM laptop from 2015. I too recently upgraded to a SSD. Unlike OP, mine is a internal SSD. The improvements have been ridiculous. The only regret is why I did not upgrade earlier.
By the way, I don't think anything can help android studio. It has improved but gradle is still slow.
edit: I too run debian buster.
- cuu508 7y agoAndroid Studio is heavy, but throwing hardware at it does help. With 8GB RAM I'd check if you're not reaching into swap already. Android Studio alone uses a good chunk of that. Then add an emulator, and a memory hungry browser, and you're swapping.
- unlimit 7y agoThanks for the tip, I will definitely look at it. I think I might as well get a decent Ryzen 3/5 desktop just for Android Studio.
