    How Come You Can't Convert Apple's Internal Drive to External?

    Hello Apple and Mac friends, not sure if it has been done before via free software tools but I managed to painstakingly, very difficult (lots of hours and beyond sleep schedule trial and error) put Boot Camp Windows 11 into it's own separate drive with free software tools (still observing) on...

    Spotlight searches limited to external drives

    Whatever I do, Spotlight won't search my internal drive. It has no problem searching into any of my externals, but there is no results at all coming from the internal. Wether I specify to look only within Macintosh HD, or don't specify a location to look into at all, none of my files located on...

    Comparison: Internal vs. External 10GbE

    I compared the internal 10 Gbit/s network adapter of my base model Mac Studio (Max) with an external Thunderbolt 3 10 Gbit/s network adapter from Sonnet. Internal: External: The difference seems to be a more conservative power ramp up (take a look at the beginning and the end of the graph)...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Best way to get 5v supply.

    I have a Quad HDMI capture card in the top PCIe slot. The OEM version had a super loud fan so I removed it and replaced it with a pure copper heatsink. It's a lot better, but I still worry about the heat, so I want to add a couple of 40mm noctua fans to it. The only problem is, I don't know...

    Using external SSD as boot drive on Mac Pro 2013

    My 2013 Mac Pro (trash can) came with a 1TB internal SSD which is now limiting given that I process large video files that need a lot of scratch space for rendering. I have two options. One, upgrade the internal SSD to 2TB. OWC offers these at around $1400. The second option is to boot the Mac...

    Can anyone recommend a PCIe Sata card for Xserve? (2009)

    I have a 2009 Xserve that arrived with some internal damage. I was able to repair the CPU pins, but the SATA controller or something similarly crucial seems to be totally beyond the pale. Disks power up, but aren’t seen no matter what I do. I can boot no problem from external sources. So, can...

I've circled in red two parts on the teardown as I am trying to find out what they are for and what they are called (see attachment). I have googled, looked at iFixit and a plethora of other sites, but can't find the name...

    Hello! I'm currently using 5k retina iMac late 2015 version. 2 hours ago I was cleaning its screen and sprayed some windex on the screen. Maybe I sprayed too much since I saw few drops of windex hanging on the bottom edge of the computer. After the cleaning, I turned on the computer and played...
