I didn't care about USB.
podcast-host
The case, like you can get a case for these, like a Thunderbolt 5 enclosure for an SSD that costs like 200 bucks.
podcast-host
So you're paying 600 bucks for the SSD and 200 bucks for the case.
podcast-host
It's rough.
podcast-host
So I found a cheaper one.
podcast-host
I got this for like 150 bucks from OWC.
podcast-host
It is Thunderbolt 5, but it doesn't like, either doesn't have USB at all, or if it does, it's super slow.
podcast-host
I think this is the one that doesn't have USB at all.
podcast-host
So if you don't have a Thunderbolt computer, you can't use this, but I don't care.
podcast-host
It's going to be permanently attached to the back of my Mac Studio.
podcast-host
So I don't care about it.
podcast-host
So yeah, that's my tied me over computer.
podcast-host
And I can tell you with the discounts that I ordered it, I got out the door for the, just for the Mac Studio, not counting like the external SSD, I got out the door for less than five grand.
podcast-host
This is my tide me over M five max max studio with the only indulgence that I gave myself was an unbind SOC.
podcast-host
Everything else is cut down to the bare minimum.
podcast-host
I think 64 gigs of Ram will be fine.
podcast-host
Again, based on my experience, I think the split SSD thing will be annoying to me.
podcast-host
Again, my strategy with that is like, uh, the reason I always like to have it all in one is because it's just so much simpler from a backup perspective, but I'm just going to have to deal with the complexity because the savings are significant, uh,
podcast-host
If the only change that I had made on this computer has gone from four to eight, it becomes a $7,300 retail computer from a $5,300, just $2,000 difference.
podcast-host
And I took less than a quarter of that $2,000 difference and put it towards the external drive and enclosure and everything like that.
