[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1892804, member: 42497"] If you are using a slow old platter drive, yes an external SSD will make a huge difference. As suggested Crucial or OWC of say 1TB, connect via USB3, format the drive and run GUID, and then use either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the contents of the current drive to the SSD. Make sure you check 'make bootable'. Into System Preferences > Startup Disk and select the SSD, reboot. Did this with a 2011 model and it was a great speed increase. [/QUOTE]
