How fast does your external storage need to be for the everyday Mac or Win PC user? Is 500 MB/s, 900 MB/s fast enough or do you need Thunderbolt 4 external storage? People always ask me if they should bet 10 Gbps enclosures or 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 4 enclosures and spend the extra money. In this video I wanted to cover how fast your external SSD storage should be and ask the question if you really need Thunderbolt 4 speeds. If you are running external storage on your M2 Mac mini or M2 15" MacBook Air how fast does it need to be?
