Hello, I was wondering if I wanted to use an external NVMe as my boot drive for a new M2 Mac, can I set the internal drive as the location for the Swap file, as I understand the built in storage is much faster than external options?
Has anyone tried such a setup?
Thank you.
A couple of additional notes:
I plan on buying a M2 Mac with at least 16GB memory to reduce the need for swap and i’m more inclined to go with the minimal storage option as I have a gen 4 NVMe 4TB, which I plan on using, which will be plenty fast for my needs. Even 512GB internal wouldn’t be enough for me for typical use, so I’m not going to bother upgrading.
