I do a lot of drone photography and general photography so therefore I have a lot of stuff to store. In 2014 I bought an OWC Elite Pro Dual and put two 2TB drives in RAID 0. This setup has served me well over the years. when it gets full I go through and clean out extra stuff I don't need then the rest gets offloaded to a NAS. For the past couple of weeks I've been having some errors happen and I know that one of the drives is beginning to fail. now I've moved everything over to the NAS for now but still need some kind of direct attached storage and this got me thinking. Prices of SSDS have come down a lot especially in the past couple of years and am considering replacing the spinners with SSDs. I was having to shuffle stuff off around once a month or so so im looking to get two 4TB SSDs in RAID 0 (drive is backed up to the NAS and to Backblaze) for 8TB of usable speedy space. The enclosure is connected to my Mac via Thunderbolt 1 and is limited to ~500MB/s which is fine for what Im doing. My active projects are all on NVMe TB3 drives. My questions are is swapping to much faster and more importantly quieter SSDs worth the extra 75ish dollars per drive and should I move to a newer and faster enclosure to get more out of the new SSDs?
