where can user files be saved?
On my new 2022 Mac mini, I decided to downsize to a smaller internal HD than I currently have on my iMac. My intention is to have the system files on the internal SSD and the data files on an external Samsung T7 portable SSD. The mini came with Monterey preinstalled.
Specifically, I was planning to have:
- The Applications, Library, and System folders on the internal SSD.
- The Users folder on the external SSD. That means moving the Users folder from the internal SSD to the external SSD.
Will this work? How should I format the external SSD when used in this manner? Samsung recommends NTFS, but I thought all the new Mac drives use APFS. The external SSD will be connected to the Mac mini by USB-C.
Thanks.
