I’ve been reading up on the advantages of booting from a ssd. I’m not comfortable cracking my 2012 iMac open, so external seems the best route for me. There have been several threads like this, but not for a few months. I just wanted to see if anyone had updated recommendations for equipment.
Is it better to buy a standalone ssd and an external enclosure? (Oyen Digital enclosure $30, + crucial MX500 1tb $135)
Or would the board recommend one of the “all in one” drives like the Samsung extreme portable 1tb ($170 on amazon)?
Any advice on the easiest way to format the new drive, clone current internal drive, them set up internal drive for storing time machine backup would be greatly appreciated as well.
