USB 3.0 is slower than Thunderbolt.  If you want to use an external SSD that is as fast as the OCZ Agility 3 with Max Read: up to 525MB/s and Max Write: up to 500MB/s, in order to take full advantage of its MAX Read/Write speeds, you are better of using a Thunderbolt Adapter.


I installed OS X 10.9 Mavericks on an OCZ Agility 3 and I connected it on my MacBook Pro 15' non retina with a Hybrid 750GB internal drive, I booted up from the external SSD under 22.2 sec!!!
