External SSD for Mac Pro (2014)
Hello there,
In need for some advice here please.
I'm thinking of getting the Samsung 850 Pro SSD (1TB) to connect as an External drive for the Mac Pro (black cylinder model). This is because the current 256gb internal storage is almost full. I will most likely be reinstalling all the programs in the Windows OS (currently on the internal storage) onto this Samsung External SSD.
1) Will installing the Autodesk softwares on this Samsung 850 Pro external storage be losing out in terms of Performance as compared to installing them within the current internal storage drive?
2) What is the best way to connect this Samsung 850 Pro SSD on the Mac Pro to act as an external drive? I suppose I still need to purchase an adapter? Thunderbolt adapter? Is the Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt Adapter the best choice in terms of Performance and Compatibility?
Performance and stability is the top most priority.
3) Any other suggestions please feel free to comment as well!
This Mac Pro runs on 256gb Internal SSD with Mac OS (1/4 Partition) and Bootcamp Windows 8 (3/4 Partition)
