| Jun 22, 2018 at 3:03 | comment | added | Karlo A. López | I bought a 128GB SSD with 450 mb per second speed average and an external hard drive enclousure with USB C type 2, with capacity up to 10gbps transfers. What do you think? Will that work??? | |

Another advantage (and what I would do) is use the internal hard drive as storage. So, for example, you can use the internal drive for your big storage items such as your Photos and/or iTunes libraries as they typically take up quite a bit of space. This will still be quicker than what you have now because the system isn't reading/writing from the same drive. | |
| Jun 8, 2018 at 3:59 | comment | added | Karlo A. López | Amazing tip. I wanted to confirm my SSD theory and you did. Also, the idea of an external drive sounds pretty good cause I was thinking about taking this issue to the apple technical support so they sell me the HDD to SSD migration, but definitely the external its a much practical solution. | |
