exFAT has slower read/write time which i feel quite wasted using on a T5 and more prone to data corruption, so if possible i'd like to avoid that
I read that it is possible to partition an external SSD to have both APFS & NTFS, if that is the case then that would be a dream setup lol


Btw anyone interested in sharing purchase for Moft sleeve via Indiegogo?

2 pack is cheaper than single at the moment

I think if u want to game on ssd, better to use ntfs since it is easily supported in windows. Moreover u are going to use the ssd with windows right. I am using the blue version. Yes it is more stable. But lately I have deleted my boot camp and moved to Parallel since I don’t really game that much. With parallel I can use both Mac OS and windows at the same time.

But I also want to use my SSD for my MacOS for direct photo/video editing lol. That's why I was thinking of partitioning APFS & NTFS into the SSD. I don't really want to spend more on another SSD...

My 16" is only 16gb version, it wouldn't be enough to game on parallel I think... and it'll overheat faster running with parallels instead from bootcamp directly..

purchased from lazada before as I recall, cheaper 2-3k, then opted for apple care from switch...so far works great.....casual browsing and office work , not a content creator myself....

Was planning to get the T5 as well, until i found out the USB 3.1 deliver much faster data up to 900MB/s +- instead of 500MB/s +-

Currently im using WD Blue 1TB + Orico Type C USB 3.1 enclosure

Got my WD Blue SSD for quite good price. Total price was cheaper than Samsung T5 thats only 500GB. Good deal.

Mainly using the ssd for video editing

I considered that, but i've read users with issues on overheating and corrupted drives while using the enclosures. Not going to take that risk,.
I got the T5 1TB for just slightly more than the cost for a 1TB WD Blue SSD + Orico enclosure, so i'm okay with that.

yes it is hot because it USB 3.1 Gen 2 transfer rate up to 10gbps, which is much faster than previous UBS3.1 Gen 1

been using for few months lucky no issues with me.

i modified my enclosure and applied copper heatsink. so far, it runs well.

Hope you do extra backup on your external SSD as well considering you're using it for video editing

Did it!
APFS & NTFS in 1 drive. I’m happy now

Erm I am very new on this, why not install the games in the MacBook ssd but an external ssd?

And you installed windows with boot camp?

If you have a 4tb MBP then sure. Mine is only 1tb so I need all the space I can save.
Yes boot camp Windows.

I see I see. I got to learn a few things from you.

Nah, all also learn by googling lol

At least now I got an idea on what to google.

I am not contemplating to go for parallel or boot camp, I also wanna occasionally gaming

Wow nice! Can you share us with the seller link?

Hi all... Quick question on battery management.

Is it alright to leave the MacBook plugged in 24/7 even if I switch off/ shut down?

I'm still wondering - why most people installing Windows on MBP?
It is because of the spec that could run better Windows and for gaming?

Just curious...

no. it is apple is my only choice.

Some softwares and most games only run on Windows.
