Apple offers free RAIDs 1 or 0, while SoftRaid for $180 does all the RAIDs, gives you many more tools, and has worked well for several clients.MacOS Monterey was released recently, and you can install it on your Windows PC. It will also be around for your next Mac. The Thunderbolt would be the easiest, but most expensive. I have also used the same enclosure for adding FAST exterior SSDs with or without RAIDs and more spindle drives to expand storage. I put together a OWC Thunderbay with 4 drives in RAID5 that more than doubles the speeds and gives a 1 drive failure proction. Or you can open it up and replace the HDD with an SSD which is pretty easy, or add an SSD and keep the HDD, but that requires a kit and a more difficult installation. Use Thunderbolt to a single or multiple drive enclosure. With an HDD, it's the other way around where the drive can't go faster than 150 MB/s, but the interior SATA3 is 600MB/s. I see BlackMagic Speed test results in the low 200 MB/s, no matter term how fast the SSD is. USB3 is very slow despite its improvement over USB2. Neither of your storage situations is good for today's computing. If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I'll try to give you some advice. If I find a solution to the problem I will come back to this thread.
Another issue is the mouse performance, I am using the Razer Deathadder 2013 and I installed the Synapse drivers (all the restarts and config prompts were done correctly) and yet I still noticed that the performance was worse when compared with the internal HDD.Ĭonclusion: Overall it seems like an easy decision for anyone who doesn't play any games on their computer because everything else runs so much better than a traditional HDD! If possible I would recommend installing an SSD internally which I was not brave enough to do. At first I couldn't tell that it was there but after extended use I noticed that doing simple tasks such as bring up the dock (w/ automatic show & hide setting) would have an input delay that didn't exist on my internal HDD. The computer is also silent now which makes a difference! +Game Install/Download was several times faster on the SSDĬONs: If you were planning on playing games on it like I was then you'll likely notice the input lag (delay). PROs: Everything from the computer boot time, application load time, and file transfers are significantly faster. Any tips on the subject would be appreciatedĮDIT: I decided to use APFS because it was easier to setup and here's my review! So I thought that this was the best option because I am afraid of breaking my computer if I open it up.Īlso. The reason why I am debating over this is because I have heard of APFS having issues like data loss, performance issues, or the fact that it's case-sensitive(?) which broke some apps.Ĭurrently I am using an iMac with a hard drive that suffers from freezing up or just being very slow.
