Hi Erich,
Thanks for all your work on Ubuntu Studio. :-)
Maybe that's the case with an SSD, but the original poster mentioned
using a Western Digital external USB hard disk. I have a couple of
those, and they don't provide the same performances...

All best wishes,

Hi,
I've no experience with Linux on Mac, but - as a general rule - I'd
advise against trying to install the standard desktop Ubuntu on an
external USB hard disk. It's likely to be too slow and you'll probably
have performance issues. Either you should take the trouble to resize
the partitioning of your internal HD with the Mac OS and then install
Ubuntu alongside it. Or else you could consider making a live USB of
Linux with persistent storage. That latter solution is designed and
optimized to run on a USB stick and works pretty well.
I'd say that's not entirely accurate. I have it running on an external
USB 3.0 SSD as we speak and it's equivalent to an internal hard drive
in
performance.
