[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1801461, member: 46727"] At least 3X as fast when making a full backup. I also did a test boot with the T5 to see just how fast it would boot the iMac from start to screen display. Not as fast as the internal PCIe drive but very close. The only bad thing about booting from an external drive or booting to recovery is that Apple in their "wisdom" decided to do away with the Bong! on newer Macs. You really have to watch the screen very closely to catch when the machine is ready to boot again after restarting so you can hold down the appropriate key. What a pain. And there is no way to bring back the POST sound since it's a firmware thing. [/QUOTE]
