If you bought the MacBook Neo with the 256GB internal SSD, you already know how fast that storage can disappear. In this video, I show a practical budget-friendly way to make the Neo much more useful by adding an external NVMe SSD through a USB-C MagSafe-style hub/enclosure.
This ACASIS EC-1401 hub go.sjv.io/n4RYVM discount code (LANCE15) gives you the extra ports the MacBook Neo needs — HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, card readers, power input, and an internal NVMe slot — while letting you expand from 256GB to a much more practical 1TB setup.
I also cover the important part many people miss: using the external SSD as your macOS Home folder drive, so your user data lives on the external SSD while keeping the internal drive open for macOS and swap memory.
