I thought that all external SSDs were similar, but the throughput can be improved with a better interface cable. The problem is that I'm out of space now but I'm not ready to upgrade the Macbook for several months.
If you're going to be getting a new MacBook Pro - which will have USB-c 3.1 'gen2' (which is supposed to support transfers up to 10gbps) - you'll probably want a USB3.1 Gen2 drive.īut - not many (any?) actually -out- on the market yet.
