SN770

Yes, you can do that. But usually, the SSD part of a (former) fusion drive is way too small for that to make sense (32 to 128GB). These sizes might be enough for the system to run but you have to remember the system needs space for cache and stuff. My suggestion: Would be better you buy an SSD like

You're paying extra for RAM and SSD. You should buy 32 gigs of DDR5-6000 CL30 RAM for ~$110 and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD (like the WD Black SN770 or similar) for ~$70.

I've been using external drives for my home directory for a while now (OS is still on internal drive). No issues with the drive powering down. I leave my M4 mini on all the time. Originally I was using a 1TB SATA SSD in a USB-3.x enclosure, and then upgraded to a 2TB WD SN770 NVME M.2 SSD using a US
