    Really strange windowserver bug/crash that caused my external APFS (encrypted) disk to switch to read only mode - now I need to authenticate to write

    Hi everyone! This is by far the strangest bug I've ever encountered in my 9 years of using a mac. And it's got me stumped. After all, it doesn't seem like a system crash, of any kind, should be able to affect an external drive so dramatically. Especially when there was nothing even being...

    Slow Lacie Mobile Drives

    I've recently got around to running the Black Magic speed test app against my Lacie external drives and they seem far slower than expected, even for non-SSD HDDs. I have a 5TB mobile drive that seems to get around 72MB/s for reads & writes, and a 4TB version that's even worse at around 48MB/s...

    Hello all! Hope you are all doing well. Firstly, I’m fairly clued up on Macs and the differences between Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner 5. My question is about backup and security.

    Lacie d2 Quadra setup fail

    Hi guys, So, I got a new Lacie d2 Quadra USB 3.0 and as I usually would do with Lacie hard drives, tried to immediately format it using Disk Utility. The problem is that it seems this time one should only use the Setup Assistant included in the disk. By formating, the setup assistant and ReadMe...

    Ok, so I bought a new iMac 27" 5k this week and a LaCie 2Big 6TB RAID to go along with it. So far everything's good. However, I noticed that the LaCie HD disappears whenever I shut down the computer and turn it back on. The HD goes to sleep when I turn off the computer (blue light goes off) and...

    RAID on El Capitan (Lacie little big disc)
