I have a 2017 15” MacBook Pro. I am looking to get an external drive for it. This will mostly be for now iTunes movies that I bought. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with the Samsung SSD external drive. I know SSDs are expensive, but I’m thinking in the long run they might be better than a hard drive. Best Buy has it on sale for $150 for 500GB.
Also on the other side, a hard drive might be better but I’m concerned about the speed between the external and the internal drives. One being a hard drive and the other being a ssd.
Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you.
Also I’m not sure if I posted this months or over a year ago. I’ve forgotten whether I did or not.
