    M1 Mini restarting a lot

    I've had an M1 Mac Mini since about a month ago. I migrated from an older Macbook Pro. 11.2.2 I've noticed that it has had to restart due to a 'problem' (ie, this mac had to restart due to a problem. Report?') It's done this at least 3 times since I've had it. Should I be worried?

    I really need to upgrade storage of my Mac Mini M1

    It's been 6 days and already I've got a warning "storage almost full". My 3TB HDD sounds like a jet engine when powered on, and hangs up Finder when waking up from sleep, it's very annoying. I need a large storage device for casual use that is QUIET and will be connected to the back of the...

    Why does my Mac report my external SSD storage differently from my PC?

    Made the jump to an M1 Mini from an aging windows PC for my daily driver, and this caught my eye when I plugged in my external SSD that I use to store my music collection. On my PC, it says I have 170 GB free of 465 GB total storage - 48,434 total files. 290 GB total usage on disk. On my new...

    M1 Mini and FCPX performance question

    Considering an M1 for FCPX and trying to discern actual performance benefits. At present, if I import 4K footage from my Sony a6000, and bring it onto timeline, with the film strip view large, and play the timeline, I don’t always get the audio waveforms drawn in until I pause playback.

    Mac Mini M1: no user upgradability, right?

    I seem to understand that the RAM is part of the chip and therefore not upgradable. What about the SSD? If I order a 256GB and in a couple of years find that too small, what are the expansion options? Or you feel it's better do dump another 200 and go with 16GB+512GB from the start? (I am a...
