I have a Late 2014 27" (3.5 i5). The fusion drive is having issues. I use this machine in my law office, and it's mission critical for my workflow. I don't want to buy a new intel iMac, and I'm far from being comfortable with buying a M1 iMac or Mac Mini. So, I need to squeeze 2-3 more years out of this bad boy. I don't want to open it up, and since I don't do heavy photo or 4k video editing (the little bit of editing I do for presentations is far simpler and far less intense), I am more than happy to run the machine on an external SSD. I don't want to use USB3 SSD because having 2018 mini at the house has spoiled me in terms of speed.
With that said, which TB3 Dock and NVMe SSD should I use? I am running 11.2, and I want to get a TB3 dock so that I can use it in the future whenever I do upgrade.
I know that CalDigit TS3+ is the one folks love and adore. However, it seems as if the machines can be finicky with the docks. So, I want to ensure I find one that works with the Thunderbolt 2 iMac and TB3->TB2 cable (I know to get the apple adapter) without having issues.
Thanks for your help.
