hi all non tech guy here... have a MacBook Pro RETINA 13'' early 2015 model - use only for music production - keep a lot of my music software libraries on 4tb external hard drive e.g. Native instruments kONTACT libraries, and recently started getting the spinning wheel as the DAW on the Mac is running the library on the ex hard drive.
to resolve this I was wondering if I brought a ssd external hard drive - I know they are faster and hopefully reduce this latency.
I have three questions...
1) I want a ssd which I can use the thunderbolt 2 port on my MacBook - can you recommend any SSD which would be able to do this.
2) would an adapter for the thunderbolt 2 port work as well if connecting to a ssd?
3) do you think this would work - I wouldn't want to buy a very expensive SSD if I see no immediate benefit.
as I stated I don't use the MacBook for anything else and keep it as lean and clean as possible.
appreciate your help In this matter.
