   @octothorpe just buy the 4TB NVME, get a 20gbit USB 4.0 adapter, and plug it in and make it your boot drive.

     @feld TBH, that's what I do now, although it's a legit Thunderbolt enclosure… 

     and it kinda sucks.

     Something happened in modern versions of MacOS where having a boot disk that isn't the internal one causes all sorts of weirdness. And… I'm not even sure you can *do* that on some of the newer hardware.

     @octothorpe you can, my friend @SlicerDicer just did it without issues
     
     though the specific model he used caused problems because there was ONE specific USB-C port that does not support being used as a boot drive and it wasn't obvious. He had to dig through hardware docs to find it as the source of the problem haha... thanks Tim Apple... :woz:
