My plan was to get the 3TB non-fusion option, however I've read a lot of mention about getting multiple externals and opting for the 1TB Fusion for extra speed. Will the Fusion (theoretically) add that much speed in day to day use? Also, what external hard drives does everyone here recommend? Should I go with a thunderbolt or USB 3.0 drive? In all honesty I'm not too worried about fast transfer speeds from internal to external, just high capacity (I currently have an external 2TB on USB 2.0 and I'm satisfied) - But of course anything to make my day-to-day operations faster I'm fair game! Please provide links to external hard drives if you can! If anything the make and model number
I'm interested in between 2TB and 3TB capacities.
My uses: I'm a light user, interested in: light gaming, photoshop here and there, maybe will delve into pro audio (Logic / ProTools) in the future, I also will be doing work with bootcamp most likely. I do work with large video files which is why I'm running out of space so quickly, however I'm not in a fast paced environment like most here where every minute counts - just an amateur, at-home user so I don't need an SSD for speed - just a lot of capacity.
So right now I see my options as:
1. Internal 3TB non-fusion
2. Internal 1TB fusion + external HD
Any advice would be much appreciated!
