Can I also use an external SSD hd as my main harddrive?
Have seen, they are way less expensive.
Just found the answer.
Possible, but I will loose speed, couse it uses USB ports to transfer datas and as slow as they are, as "fast" is my work......so:)
May be a stupide question

You can, but, note that using an external SSD on USB will be much slower than SATA or M.2. Apart from that, I also don't know why you think external SSD's are less expensive than internal ones. I don't think they are.
Assuming you still use a computer which only has SATA ports, you can get a 1 TB internal SSD by brand manufacturers for 70 to 80 €.

Your are right. I found this answer also. It does not make sens doing this.
Will not speed up booting at all.
Thanks a lot:)
