Hi, new here but have been using Macs for about 15 years or so.
I currently have a mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro and have just changed the 1tb hybrid hard drive for a Samsung 1TB 850 EVO.
The Macbook runs great, but I have an ever increasing photo folder ( currently about 200gb) that I would like to move to a secondary drive.
I will replace the optical drive with a new one.
I do a fair bit of photo processing using Lightroom 6. My two options for the second drive is another SSD ( probably a 500gb EVO 850 ) or a hybrid mechanical drive, which is obviously much cheaper.
Now, here's where I need some advice.
Will the mechanical drive slow down the processing much as opposed to using another SSD?
I don't mind another SSD, but I have a spare 1TB hybrid drive lying around that I could use.
Any advice greatly appreciated here.
