Hi there!
Your USB 3-equipped Mac with a hard disk can have improved system performance by connecting to an external solid-state drive (also known as an SSD).
An external SSD as your startup disk can give your Mac additional performance for system responsiveness, apps, startup, and more. An SSD will make your Mac 10 to 40 times faster for storage, and in turn, make your entire Mac faster and more capable.

the bottleneck is likely
1.00 TB (Mechanical - 5400 RPM)
mechanical harddisks are snails compared to the SSD disks new computers use and the 5400RPM is the slowest mechanical hd one can get
Thank you for your reply.
Please can you explain what you mean by "The Bottleneck"
Does that mean my hard drive is no good & do you think it can be changed a SSD ?
Thank you very much for that, I will give it a go.
