Seeking suggestions on an external drive.
(lemmy.ml)
I'm looking to replace a 6TB G-Drive for my Mac. I'm considering the OWC Express 1M2 NVMe enclosure along with a WD Black 4TB SN850X.
The drive is mostly used as my photography drive. I work off of it with Capture One. About 20% of it is archive data.
I'd like to upgrade to SSD for the sake of longevity and speed. And because I find the ticking and knocking my existing drive makes to be annoying. And because MacOS does this weird thing where opening random apps causes the external HDD to spin up and stalls operation. I fear everyday that this seven year old drive is suddenly going to die on me.
Just looking for some suggestions if anyone's familiar with these OWC + WD products or if you'd recommend something else.
