Speed Up Your Peripherals
USB and Thunderbolt are the most commonly used interfaces for the sorts of external devices (such as hard drives) that can most significantly affect your Mac’s speed. In this final chapter I get into some admittedly geeky territory, discussing somewhat obscure concepts like bus bandwidth—but it’s all in the service of speeding up your Mac. By understanding what I explain here, you can make informed decisions about which devices to connect to your Mac and how to do so in a way that keeps overall performance as high as possible.
