Preparing for High Sierra

I’m watching macOS High Sierra install on my MacBook Pro. I plan on reviewing it this fall, and wanted to jump in a little earlier than I normally do.

However, I expect that I will need to work on my notebook some this summer, so I’m installing it on an external SSD. Specifically, the Samsung T3 Portable SSD. It’s fast and small, and has a USB C port on the back of the drive. I’m using the included USB C to A cable, but am going to swap it with a USB C cable for a little less clutter.

High Sierra is set up to be this generation of release’s Snow Leopard. That’s a big set of shoes to fill, and I’m hopeful macOS 10.13 is as good as 10.6 was.
