You know, I think it would be better to get the ssd so that when one upgrades the computer they will be able to utilize the upgraded USB.

When we get into discussions about bottlenecking, I recommend every English speaker
in the world read the book "The Goal" by Goldratt and Cox.

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/goal-eliyahu-m-goldratt/1103443759

I recommend reading it, then reading it again 6 months later, then after that
reading it every two years. Yes, it's that good and that important. I suggest the
print edition: The electronic edition I bought a couple years ago is very
misformatted.

I wrote a little bit about bottleneck analysis 24 years ago, here:
