Hi Hoping you can help. I want to upgrade my mac to ssd and was wondering what is the best way to this.
1. replace internal mechanical drive. Is this faster than external usb3 or thunderbolt 2.
2. add PCIe stick and use as boot disk. Is this faster than internal ssd
3. External? usb3 SSD or thunderbolt 2 SSD and use as boot disk??? Pro and cons??? Obvious pro to me is external is just plug and play... no surgery!!!
Also the external is cheap in that you only have to pay around £100 for a decent usb3 drive and my machine will be 5 times faster than the standard mechanical drive??? Am i correct?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
