speed

Long story short, I want to buy a Mac Mini, but I already have some external SSD. Should I spend some money on more internal SSD, or go with less and use the external one? How much of a diffetence is between the speed?

I currently have 1 Gbps fiber internet which is used mainly for working from home, streaming 4K content, and other general internet use (no gaming or big downloads or uploads). Would I notice if I were to switch to 250 Mbps? It would save me $13/mo.

I've got an iPad mini 4 that's been upgraded to the latest iPadOS version (14.6 as of today). For the past several months, I've noticed a definite lag in terms of performance all around the board, especially with apps like Evernote but also with Safari, Ulysses, Maps, Apple Music and so on. Apps...

Seems to be a big issue. Please share here the write speed to external SSDs you get connected to your iPad Pro 2021. On a Samsung T7 USB 3.2 SSD I got only 44 MBps copying a 5 GB file to the HFS+ formatted SSD using the original USB 3.2 and a TB3/USB4 cable.

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a new charger for my iPad Air 3. From the official documentation it seems that the max wattage for it is 18W (it has PD fast charging). But I came across this experiment here...

Hello. I'd like to know if there's an alternative software (even paid) to the free Blackmagic Disk Speed test I can get for my mac. The reason I'd like a second test is that I sometimes experience weird behaviours with some SSDs, and this has been the same on different macs and different new...

Hello everyone, i would like to have a thread about debloating macos, where we can discuss the various services and background tasks that can be killed to improve the performance of macOs. I have tried to post some similar discussions on Hackintosh forum without much success, and i find it...

Hi, has anyone used a Adata SX8200 1TB in a TekQ Cube Thunderbolt 3 enclosure? Wondering whether there are compatibility issues with this enclosure. In a review I read, the speed seems to be throttled due to compatibility issues. The “normal” speeds should be around 2000mb for both read and...

Both are on the same carriers (Visible - Verizon LTE) and both are with no cases on them. I tried a few servers around me and iPhone 12 Pro performed better each time compared to my iPhone X with an older version of Qualcomm modem. Very satisfied with the upgrade. https://streamable.com/57uwuo

Is it possible to test the speed of my FW800 transfers? They do feel a bit sluggish!

I have uploaded 100+ still photos of a sunset - time lapse. I have joined them together with "cross dissolve" and it tracks very nicely but too slowly. The speed icon is "grey" so pressing it does nothing so how can I speed up the movie? Thanks

I'm getting my first Mac Mini (2020) in a couple of weeks. I have 3 WD 8TB external USB 3.0 Hard Disks that I want to connect. I'm trying to work out if there is any "Best" way to connect the drives to my Mac Mini. I have 3x usb-c to usb 3.0 adaptors I could use to attach them all to a separate...

Is there any way to find out how fast are usb flash drives are? Perhaps there are apps that can benchmark read & write speeds etc?

Does your iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro get better or worse reception than your previous iPhone? Please note that I am looking to compare previous versions of iPhones to the new iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro only.

Do you guys think there's any considerable (say >5%) read and or write speed difference between the various SSD capacity options of the 16" Macbook Pro?

Hi, Does anyone know the read & write speed difference amongst the different BTO capacities on the 2019 15" Macbook Pro? I'd like to buy a 16" and use that as a reference in my choice of SSD capacity

Hello, I know the question of fast transfer speeds with iPads has been discussed at various places on the internet and on this forum. But I only found discussions about file transfer using that Lightning-to-USB3-adapter where the iPad is the host. Can any of you developers confirm that there...

And by faster, I mean, performs well under a high CPU load. It's an Macbook Pro 2014 vs an upgraded 2015 – what do we think? Web search seems to say they're pretty identical. https://www.gumtree.com/p/macs/13-quot-macbook-pro-retina-2015-2.7ghz-i5-upgrade-to-500gb-ssd/1345506590 or...
