![]() You should get reads of about 430mbps and writes in the 350-375mbps range. USB-c SSD will make a fine external boot drive. Or you could buy a T5 for £170 but they perform very similar to a build at home variant. 1TB ssds can be had for £80 and a 3.1 usb c caddy £20 so £100 vs £420 for the X5. Otherwise 550mb/s is more than adequate for 4k video and any other day to day task. Its only when you are exporting large video files or big transfers where it is noticeable and a bottle neck but really that more advanced. Boots are near identical, program launches are similar. Recently I bought a Thunderbay 6 from OWC and have a 1TB Samsung Evo 970+ M2 NVME over TB installed which runs 3000mb/s r/ws day to day use it feels almost the same as the 3.1 1tb budget SanDisk ultra 1TB I had before. Myself and others have had these set up for years with minimal differences in performance. In all honesty trim isn't the end of the world either. The X5 is 4 times the price and for most people the performance day to day wont be noticeable, 3000mb/s r/ws is great but way overkill for most people.Ī sata 3 ssd over USB 3.1 gen 2 is a cheap way to make you Mac feel infinitely more responsive. TBH for 90% of people a USB SSD is ideal.
