My Macbook Air has only 121GB of storage. Just purchased a 1TB, Samsung T5, and I want to attach it to the case/lid and use it regularly as a separate but continuously connected extra drive to store applications and files. You see, I'm already at 90 GB on the main storage of the laptop, and am getting frequent beach balls, frozen screens and unwanted restarts. Been reading that offloading files and applications might help things run smoother.
What are your thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? I think that I'd be putting my enormous iTunes music library on there and maybe some other large applications.
I did have some questions though. Do you think that closing/opening the lid, turning the computer on/off will cause unnecessary stress on that external drive. My intention is to leave it connected to the computer 24/7.
