External SSD Recommendations? - Lemmy.World
I’m looking for a portable SSD drive for my Macbook Pro. It’s an older model,
being the 15" retina, mid 2015, but even though it’s begin to show signs of
ageing, it still does what I need it to. Which is mostly hobby audio
recording/production. As it has a fairly limited 250gb internal SSD, I have to
make use of external drives for archive files and time machine backups. At the
moment, I have offloaded my Logic Pro sounds library, as well as the numerous
sample packs, project files, and plugins, onto an external HDD to save space,
but as it is an 8TB powered HDD, really I would rather just keep it as my home
archive/backups (the reason I bought it), instead of carrying it around as part
of my portable recording setup. Which always feels a little too risky. Does
anyone have any recommendations for external SSDs that would suit my purpose?
And should I stick with USB 3, or should I be looking into Thunderbolt
connections for working off of? (I am a little dim when it comes to this stuff)
I would likely only need 250gb at minimum, but in the region of 500/1TB would
give me some extra wiggle room.
Anyone else considering spoiling their ballot in the next election?

Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again
for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their
progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because
my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never
vote for. Though the SNP are probably now at their lowest point in years since
they finally managed to oust Sturgeon. I will also never vote Labour, they have
no identity here and during the 2019 election they were campaigning for the
Tories to oust SNP here, so 100% fuck them too. I once voted for Lib Dem and we
ended up with the catastrophic Clegg/Cameron coalition (though due to FPTP my
vote didn’t matter there.) I would like to vote for Green, but it would be a
wasted vote here. It’s just bizarre to me that Westminster’s voting system is
such that a vast majority of votes in the UK are binned, how is this considered
normal? Sorry for the rant, but I am just so incredibly disillusioned with
politics in this shitehole of a country but absolutely refuse to be passive
about it since that is what they want us to be.

Privacy concerns are a very popular and valid talking point on Lemmy, so I would
like to gather your thoughts and opinions on this. (Apologies if it’s already
been discussed!) Would you support this? Would it work or even be viable? (If it
could somehow overcome the rabid resistance from these big companies). What are
your thoughts? Personally, I’m getting more and more agitated at the state of
this late stage global capitalism, where companies have the gall to ask you to
pay or subscribe to their products, while they already make money from you for
selling your data. It’s been an issue for a long time now, but seems to really
be ramping up.
