i just stumbled over this post:

This would work ?
You just "boot" the whole OS from an external SSD and have just ALL Audio apps installed there ?
How likely is it that this will work for the next years ? ....vs. MacOS and what is allowed to do.
are there any drawbacks ? ( we talk here a desktop M3Mac. No need to move anything)
Is there any reason to NOT do so vs. a audio workstation ? (studio work, no live on stage or so)

Currently using a 2010 Mac Pro. My projects aren’t too huge either tracks-wise, but I run some orchestral and drum kit samplers that need a little more memory headroom.
What I’ll probably do is get a 16 or 24 GB RAM M2/M3 Mac Mini with the 256GB SSD and boot/run from a Thunderbolt 4 SSD. Cuz screw you Apple. Not paying $800 for 2TB of your ripoff storage.
