Compared to the HHD I had been using, running SC through a USB 3.0 to an external SSD is recrackularly fast.
Yeah, I'm running from a laptop. Tomorrow, I test drive adding in OBS and Deepbot to see if I can get SC viable to stream it again.

Streaming from an external SSD onto a laptop, streaming from a laptop?

You have gone too far!

It's a fine daisy chain of bad idea theater

first bad thing. Running the tech test, OBS, DeepBot, SC, Task Manager, and a few extraneous chrome instances.

Disk never of 50%, I believe this to be HHD. There were moments when SSD light flickered like a rave on speed.
Memory: sitting between 75-99%
CPU: never under 90%, too hot for me to want to do for any real length

DeepBot had a habit of going non-responsive which ate at SC.
OBS was fine, then the preview went black aside from objective markers once I entered my ship. upon reaching Daymar, the preview went green and remained that way.

all in all, for an ageing laptop with an i7-4700HQ @2.4GHz, 16 GB RAM, and a negligibly useful nvidia geforcegtx770m. I think i'm impressed the machine didn't just melt to goo.

Time to look at desktops and and a budget to get there.

upshot, SC from external SSD over USB 3.0 not an issue.
