Outboard TB 3/4 storage only seems expensive until you price it against Apple's native storage. Is it slower? Of course! Is it fast enough? Probably.

- darreninthenet 3y agoI recently moved my macOS installation to an external Thunderbolt drive - it's faster than the internal SSD.
- technofiend 3y agoConsidering storage is a wasting asset and what Apple charges, this makes perfect sense to me.
- darreninthenet 3y agoThe funny thing is Apple even have a support article on how to do this (and actually say in it "may improve your performance") I literally followed it step by step and it was very easy and had no issues.
- ayewo 3y agoCan you share the Thunderbolt drive you got?

Shipped to the UK for me added a bit to the overall price with shipping and import duty but it was still better value for money and hugely reliable brand than anything I could have bought domestically.
