Thanks again for all the helpful advice...appreciate it.

I see. Anyways I'm not sure but I think the laptop's USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port isn't Thunderbolt. Does it matter if I use a TB cable? Also from what I've gathered so far TB or USB4 is better compared to using HDMI right?

Thanks! Yeah I think DP is only 1.4. Pardon the newbie question but doesn't the refresh rate only applies to playing games? As far as watching 4k movies does the refresh rate also matter? Basically I'll be using the laptop to play 4k movies and watch them on the MSI.

Thanks will give it a try. About the disc space. 200GB left out of 1TB is too low in your opinion?

Right now it has 200GB free space. Like I mentioned earlier no problems with file transfers from it to the laptop. It's when transferring files from the laptop to it that's very slow.

Oh my bad...RAVPower external SSD Pro 1TB.

Hi Lutfij. External HDD is a RAVPower Portable External SSD Pro, 1TB Hard Drive with 540MB/S Data Transfer . Laptop is an Asus Zephyrus G14. No problem when I send files to the laptop but not the other way around. I have no idea if the problem is on the laptop side or the external SSD side.

Hi...I have an external SSD drive. When I transfer files from the hard drive to my laptop speed is fast. But when transferring files from the laptop to the same hard drive it get's pretty slow. I can see the transfer speeds go from fast to slow then back up again then down again. A 4Gb file will...
