Is this
the SSD you have?
And is
this or
this the kind of SATA to USB adapter you used?
And lastly, which format would you use, APFS?
I would like to get something like that for my MacBook Pro 2014 because it has only a 250GB internal SSD. I don’t want to mess with having that replaced with a larger one. I'm of the thought that if it works don't mess with it! But I would like an external SSD fast enough to process Lightroom galleries and video directly from it. I'm currently using the SanDisk mentioned in earlier posts, but it is only 250GB and too slow. I don't care about portability as this drive would remain with my MacBook Pro all the time. The portable SSD drives at 2TB cost considerably more than the ones like you have.
Basically, I want to extend out the usefulness of my old MacBook Pro for a couple more years or so. Plus you can never have too many backup drives.
