I've got an older MacBook Pro that I installed two 1TB SSD's in, one 850 EVO and one 850 Pro. I just use it for a couple of older programs that run on older OS, so I don't need both SSD's in it anymore. So I want to pull one of the SSD's out and use it as an external SSD backup drive.
I don't believe there's much difference between the 850 EVO and 850 Pro, but wondering if one would work better as an external SSD drive attached via USB-c / Thunderbolt 3, the connections on my 2019 MacBook Pro?
Any suggestions on best cables to connect the puled SSD to either USB-c or Thunderbolt 3 on the 2019 16" MacBook Pro?
Additionally, any enclosures I should use for either of the SSD's, or are they fine being left "bare"? I won't be using as a travel drive, it will stay in my office as a backup only.
Thanks!
