Since the speed of Thunderbolt is 10Gb/s and it is faster than the SSD on my computer, does this mean that if I install Mac OX Lion and all the applications including Final Cut Pro and edit all my videos in the external Hard Drive it will be faster? Thanks.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
it's the same speed even ssd's will be the bottleneck so give it 10000000GB/sec interface and it will still be the hd which will be the one which set the transfer speed

The speed is also dictated by the speed of your processor and the amount of RAM you have - both of those function the same way on the internal or external; additionally, depending on the connection, it may slow the process down. In other words, editing and rendering any video is a processor and memory heavy task and you can help it by not using the computer for anything else while it is processing.
Is it faster to edit video on external WD Thunderbolt Hard Drive than to edit on the internal SSD?
