I have been learning houdini for some time and I am facing issues with my caching. Whenever I keep my sim for caching, my laptop starts to not respond or cook any frames after some time. I got better results when I cached my sim into my ssd. Still the problem continues after some frames.

Maybe I could buy a SSD and install it in my laptop but it supports only gen 3 nvme.

Will buying an external ssd work or should i go for upgrading my ssd to larger storage internaly.

Laptop specifications - intel i7, 2x8 gb 3200 MHz, 256 ssd, 1 tb hdd
