Hello,
I was trying to run Xcode on my Mac mini (with an HDD) but it was painfully slow. Is it possible to run it on an external SSD?
Thank you!
Can you run Xcode on an external SSD?
Xcode should be installed and run from your boot drive, internal or external is ok...way too many system hooks for it to tolerate any other configuration.
>but it was painfully slow.
Join the club.
Max your ram and swap in a -fast- SSD for best performance, just keep expectations low no matter what.
Just noticed a new 3.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑gen Intel Core i7 mac mini w/64 GB ram, 10 GB Ethernet & 2 TB SSD is only $4,199.00...
