I can't see the price dropping, but what do I know. The Apple 6k monitor is quite the bargain, actually, compared to reference monitors. Or if you can live with a bit slower, the Samsung T5. And you could carry along one with your Lr catalog and it would be plenty speedy. Both these drives are tiny and require no power cables. If you want merely fast, the new Samsung T7 rips along almost as fast, and comes in 2TB. Macsales and Plugable make super fast ones too.

And you could add it without voiding your warranty on that 2019 or risking damaging it. Faster I believe than an internal non pcime regular old SSD. Gee maybe Apple will solve all my problems and just come out with a 32' 6k iMac?Ī Samsung X5 comes in a 2TB config, and runs over Thunderbolt 3 and is VERY fast. I also do not want to have to use my lesser 16' MacBook Pro to drive it when it is not as fast or as capable as my iMac. What I want is the 6k monitor but not at that price nor willing to pay crazy money for MacPro when these will drop like a rock in a year. Rumor is they are completely redefining the iMac this year so I do not want to spend a bunch of money other than these two drives. It seems to me this will solve a lot of problems. I am also contemplating putting my photos ( will back up regularly both on and off site) so Lightroom works better when I travel an use my three different Macs in different places.

I need ample space with headroom so the files reside locally so things work faster rather than having to retrieve files from the cloud. My 16' MacBook Pro has 4TB and my 27' iMac at work only has a 1TB SSD which is creating problems with iCloud sync and really slowing things down so I ordered a 4TB external for it. Does anyone know the best or fastest 4TB SSD to replace the 2TB I have in my 2019 loaded up iMac?
