Hope it works ou.
I bought an iMac 27 Retina 4K in 2015. I think I paid about 3K. Still working
well, still fast enough for Photoshop and anything else I’d want to do. With a
second Dell monitor it makes a nice work station

I'm afraid that the longer I live, the more I seem to expand.
Thanks to PG my home Linux box got fried, I bought
Good to know. I have a bunch of SATAs, but will look elsewhere next time I have
to expand—assuming I live that long!

I was looking into this not too long ago, data rates on NVME are a lot higher
than SATA.
A quick
Amazon has a 2 tb Seagate for 110 bucks and a 5tb for 2 something. I think

I realized that I was asking the wrong question. An external NVME SSD over

thunderbolt rather than USB it has a tendency to disconnect from my mac, so
that I'm constantly getting warnings about missing drives etc.
