[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1915459, member: 56379"] What makes you "not sure" it won't perform any better? Do you have research that says so? If not...give it a try.:) I mentioned this in 2 threads...external SSD via USB 3.0 port should be faster than an external spinner HD. Also should get a "blade SSD" (also called NVMe SSD)...since these are typically faster SSD's. Of course remember that an external drive many times will be slower than an internal drive of the same type. Just one of the compromise's that must be made. But an external SSD via USB 3.0 will be better than a spinner HD. I also already mentioned that you could install an internal SSD (in addition to the Fusion drive already installed)...but I also mentioned this is a VERY complex DIY project...and would probably be too expensive to have done professionally. Thus you are left with the external drive option. Nick [/QUOTE]
