Mac Studio SSD

NigelO

I'm thinking of getting a Mac Studio with 4TB and I am planning on moving my current libraries (which are on external SSDs) to the internal SSD. Does anyone have experience on this (eg resulting in less speed of access)?

Thanks

I do not have experience with Mac.....

But generally is the best (fastest) to use NVMe SSD, they are way faster than SATA SSDs. So, if your external SSDs are SATA, the internal will be the same/similar or way faster (if internal are NVMe).

It looks like 4/8 TB internal SSD is pretty fast. Should be better than any external one... I guess. No. personal experience.

@NigelO Make sure to move the libraries this way: Moving a Native Instruments Product to Another Location on Your Computer

Also make sure to format your drive to APFS: Notes on Hard Drive Formats on Mac Computers
