If I were to replace my external hard drives cable with a USB C one, would I experience faster read write speeds?
(I dont mean that as if I think the cable would somehow overclock the storage, I'm just wondering if the USB A cord is bottlenecking my 7200rpm external hard drive..)
Edit: I have (am and looking at getting a cable for) a SATA 3 to USB C 3.1 port. Also, it should be worth mentioning that cause I'm a game dev, I pretty much only make larger data transfers/downloads when my external drive is concerned.. If you think I should just get a 2tb ssd or something and stick that in my drive hole in my laptop (which, the laptop is my main and only personal device) then I will, but if my data transfer speds would be improved by a usb c 3.1 connection to my external hard drive and if that alone would do the job without raking too long to load stuff, then I will just keep the E-HDD.
