[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1793567, member: 46727"] Yeah, very true Sly. My 2017 5K iMac has 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports which are the same as USB 3.1/USB-C. Access to and from a TB 3 drive is almost as fast as the internal bus speed. I haven't invested in any Thunderbolt drives yet as I really don't have a need for one right now. Most of our ministry data and documents are archived on other hard drives and duplicated twice for safe keeping. Another note... I was just looking over all my apps to see which ones were 32 bit and 64 bit. You can do that easily from your Apple menu, About this Mac, System Report, Software, and finally Applications. You can scroll thru them that way and it will tell you which are 32 bit and which are 64 bit. I've probably got 2 or 3 key apps that are still 32 bit and may quit working when Mojave is released. That's something we all need to be prepared for. I'm hoping to get on the Mojave public beta list and do some testing but I hate to put it on my working iMac. I usually place the beta on an external hard drive and boot from it that way. But I suspect that the external drive will have to be formatted to APFS first. [/QUOTE]
