Hello Sifus,

I am having a dilemma on my MacBook internal storage. even with 2tb iCloud, my internal storage is always full.

Is it worth while to get a professional to upgrade the internal storage or should I opt for an external ssd?

If it's an upgrade, any recommendations?

If it's external, which one should I get for optimum speed?

Thanks,
Joel

Mostly used at home. Will bring it to travel once awhile but mainly will use my iPad while travelling instead of my MacBook.

My MacBook Pro is M1 2020

i think external ssd should be good because it can be use for your macbook and ipad and you will be use your macbook mostly at home.
i'm using this one for my iphone and ipad to transfer and open huge data/gallery.

speed 2000MB/s should be sufficient for nowadays devices.

If I get an SSD, can I run apps from the ssd tho? For example installing Final Cut Pro into the ssd?

Sorry I am a bit lost in this department

might need to reconsider the external disk heat temperature if using for application. blush.gif
