    Will I need an external scratch disk?

    I am doing photo and video editing as well as some 3d (Blender) and will be updating from a 2010 Mac Pro. In the Mac Pro I use a dedicated 1TB SATA SSD as a scratch disk for caches and such. I was taught that it's always best to keep a scratch disk that is physically separate from the system...

    Mac Studio Max - it's not that quiet

    I bought a Mac Studio Max. It’s replacing a mid 2010 iMac running off an external SSD (a real trooper) and joining forces with my MBP 16 inch. Let me start off by saying that I've been so excited for the Studio. It's what I have wanted from Apple for a long time. From what I had read in the lead...

    Anyone else "downgrading" from a 2019 Mac Pro?

    I waited years to upgrade my 2011 MBP to a dedicated Mac tower. I loved the 5,1s but wanted too wait for the new iteration. Then when the 7,1 was launched in 2019 the price was insane, but for better or worse I decided I'd waited long enough and I had the money even if it was overkill. I've had...

    What external storage solutions are you going to use with the Mac Studio

    I ordered a M1 Max Mac Studio with 1TB of storage. I’m wondering what others are going to use for external storage. I’ll be doing video editing 4K video so will need some kind of additional working space.

    I have a tv with 4k 120hz through hdmi 2.1 do you think it will be possible to use two 4.0 thunderbolt ports on the Mac studio and somehow end up with 2.1 hdmi connected to the tv in order to run 4k at 120hz?

    Studio Display with Mac Pro 2013?

    I see on the tech specs the Mac Pro 2013 trash can isn't listed as being compatible with the new Studio Display. Anyone know if I used a thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter if it would work? I guess we'll have to wait and see maybe
