in Komplete General

What are some of the best external drive options to store my Komplete 15 stantard library on for performance? I have a 2015 macbook pro quad core i7, 16gig, 512 running os Monterey.. I'm using a cheap $35 nvme external drive from teamgroup Gen 3×4 M.2 up to 1700/1400 MB/s.. Is this sufficient, or should I get something higher end?

    You should really just try the one you have and see if everything are read and played fast enough within your DAW. What's certain is that you need a minimum of usb-c and up external drive……

    Thanks for responding! I have used this drive in Logic Pro, and it seems to drag the CPU quite a bit more than logic instruments, which I expected. I was just thinking I could optimize if I had something running at higher speeds. It's connected via USB-c to the USB-a on my mac. Should I connect via thunderbolt instead?

    Did you reformat your external SSD storage as GUID-APFS format?
