Switching over to SSD for main storage drive over 10 TB – are we there yet?

[Chester McCheeserton]

Your MacBook doesn't do something called bifurcation, which you should read about before going further with this.
This video is about installing one of Amfeltec's carriers in a 2019 Mac Pro and how it compares to OWC's product. I think that the video also does a good job of explaining the RAID options. The title says Part 1, but I don't think that there is a Part II:

Thanks. I am not familiar with bifurcation but I think maybe it sounds like it might be less of an issue running just 2 ssds rather than 4 or 8...I don't really need insane speed I'm not doing a ton of 4k editing, mainly want LR to not freeze up and to have to stop and read a newspaper every time I use finder to locate a specific file name. seeing them use disc utility in the video to set up a RAID is helpful.

this would work right? or is it missing the PCIe carrier you mention...

If you're thinking about replacing spinning disks with ssd's for long term storage, you should consider how bit rot affects ssd's as compared to magnetic hard drives.
