![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My Mac Pro 5,1s have 1TB boot drives which has been fine, but I figured the 2TB internal SSD for the Studio would be more future proof and be a nice quality of life improvement. I’ve been getting by with 512GB on my MBP but it’s tight. PS I also decided to up the internal storage on my M1 Ultra Mac Studio order to 2TB for video editing. Using an external enclosure can become an ideal external hard drive for MacBook Pro and other laptop models while saving you money. Dual-drive hardware RAID storage solution with fast USB 3.2 (5Gb/s) + eSATA connectivity. Anyone with more knowledge on this subject I'd be happy to hear from! I will definitely do some testing and share my findings. 1TB to 40TB + SSD Options From 279.00 Enclosure From 169.00 OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual. Something to be aware of, for fastest external storage look at Thunderbolt 4, USB4, I think Thunderbolt 3 devices, also 10Gbe NAS, but probably not USB 3.1. Hopefully my existing OWC Thunderbay 4 TB3 RAID will perform decently. It seems like there are some workarounds like connecting the USB 3.1 devices through a Thunderbolt 3 dock / daisy chain, which can sometimes boost speeds back to normal. Maybe because Apple's custom TB4/USB4 controller chips are targeting TB4/USB4 devices at the expense of USB 3.1 compatibility? (Fingers crossed the M1 Ultra will be better, but I doubt it.) The Studio will be my first M1 model and it sounds like all current M1, Pro, Max computers have slower USB 3.1 read/write speeds than Intel Macs, even on the latest OS. ![]()
