t is a complicated wish mash of abbreviations, acronyms and hardware specs and I am just starting to understand it.
I Bought a 2015 iMac with a 1TB HDD recently and as my last iMac had an internal SSD it all feels very slow. I bought an external SSD and an enclosure and it works well booting Catalina but can I get things to go faster? I got a SATA 3 SSD and a USB 3.0 enclosure and it works ok but wondered if it could be improved upon.
I keep seeing NVME drives and they seem faster but they would be throttled by the USB3 and was far as I know there aren't any thunderbird NVME enclosures.
Thanks
