running SP3 from external SSD or flashdrive

[Derek Schaaf]

Hi, I would like to install all or most of the SP3  sound library but would prefer that I don’t tie up 230GB of my MacBook Pro’s harddrive.  I am considering installing the sound library on an external SSD  or on a 256 GB flash drive.  is there any downside to doing this and is there any preference between an external solid-state drive versus a flash drive?

 

Thanks,

Derek

If you have thunderbolt connection I think it wouldn’t be a problem. But I did not try.

Thanks, I am using a 2018 MacBook Pro with 4 USB-C ports….I am assuming the fact eh Apple went to these ports exclusively is that they are as fast or faster than thunderbolt….

 

Thanks,

Thunderbolt 3 runs on USB-C. OWC has a few drives to choose from.
