Thinking about upgrading my 2017 iMac 27" 3.8ghz 2TB FD to either an external SSD (Samsung X5) or take the plunge and install a 970 EVO NVME blade with adapter in bus 1 (PCIe). Price is not a real factor, $300 for the Samsung and $170 for the EVO (SSD + iMac install kit + Sintech adapter), but not really wanting to break open the iMac and perhaps lowering resale value.
Any disadvantage though of using the external SSD as my boot drive and for all other tasks? Not sure if I might run into sleep mode problems, usb external hub issues, or something else.
Any issues for those that have done an external SSD as boot drive?
