Macbook Retina Drive Setup

looking @ purchasing external drive working in ae, ps , pr on retina 2012 (2,6 - 16gb ram - 512 ssd).

my work split between ae (70%), ps (20%) , pr (10%), working lot still images (animation). right now, everything's done internal, cache, footage, previews, exports.

did disk speed , render test buffalo ministation 1tb usb 3.0. surprisingly (to me), took 15% longer a short sequence render compared internal ssd. isn't strange?

i did render test of short sequence (40mb) , took 1 second longer  writing internal ssd.

below: first speed test buffalo, second internal ssd.

 

i looking @ samsung t3 250gb, sandisk extreme 500 , crucial mx300 (in inateck usb 3.0 enclosure) use footage, preview , exports.

 

is true there stability/ heating issues when running (500gb , above) ssd on macbook usb 3.0 port?

 

is there single-drive-non-ssd solution can recommend situation?

 

does rpm play role footage, preview , export files or concern cache?

 

thanks lot.
