    Mac Mini Late 2012 - 144Hz

    Hi everyone. I just picked up a Late 2012 Mac Mini and put 16GB of RAM and an SSD in it. I already had a 144Hz MSI G27C monitor that I use with my Alienware laptop, which runs great over HDMI 2.1 at 144Hz.

    High Sierra on SSDs in RAID0

    Hi everyone. I'm running a late 2012 Mac mini with two SSDs in RAID0, and was wondering if APFS will support this configuration upon installation. Reading up on the documentation for APFS it says it fully supports RAID, so I was just checking in someone here has tested this scenario. Thanks a lot.

This is the second time I've had to deal with this recently, but the first time I actually got an error log when I powered back on. I need some help deciphering what this means. It looks like there might be...
