Except he said he wanted at least 1 TB, even though I suggested 750GB. SSD prices at that size are kinda expensive, but he does make phat beats with a Mac so he might be loaded? No offense, OP.

it does help with boot and programs but
it;s not as fast as regular ssd and it takes time for drive to cache proper files and it helps with read speeds not writes

I don't think you will get 2TB, fast, and USB-powered - you are going to have to pick 2 of those. Anything that is 2TB and 2.5" is going to be a 5400RPM drive. I think it will still be fast enough to...

USB 3.0 is faster than eSata, and Thunderbolt is still limited by physical drive speed (as is every other external connection).
