I haven't built a PC since the late 90s and I'm having trouble finding what I, or actually my wife, needs.
I'm considering a mini PC running Win 10 from an internal 512GB SSD but that isn't big enough for all her data (she's a university professor so has to store coursework, exam results etc for 200+ students as well as her own research, textbook writing etc). So I'm looking at a 1TB external SATA drive but I'm a little concerned about transfer speed.
So my question is: can anyone recommend a good external drive for this kind of configuration? An ancillary question is whether there are any recommendations for a mini PC with sufficient oomph to run 2 monitors and fairly demanding software like MatLab etc.
Unfortunately we live abroad so, courtesy of Brexit, buying from OVC is probably a no-no....sorry!
