    What type of SSD is this?

    It came from my dead 2014 MBP. What form factor or whatever is this? The connector on it does not look like all my other M.2 drives. What kind of USB enclosure do I need to connect this to my new Mac?

    Slow external drive on Sequoia 15.2

    Hi folks! After updating my MBA M1 to Sequoia 15.2 (24C101) I have very slow write speed on my external SSD(Samsung T7 Shield). Write speed is slower than an old HDD. I thought my drive is dying, but it has normal speed with Windows laptop and Samsung app shows good health status. Any ideas?

    Brand-new Mac from Apple showing 130 power cycles but only 3 power-on hours – should I be worried?

    I just bought a brand-new Macbook pro M4 max directly from Apple. After checking the SSD’s SMART data using DriveDx and smartctl , I noticed something unusual: it shows about 130 power cycles but only around 3 total power-on hours. This seems odd to me why would there be so many power cycles in...

    Blackmagic results give a consistent 3100 speed for both read and write. Amorphous Disk Mark gives a more detailed measurement: For a comparison the internal SSD is around 5600W-4880R and here is its Amorphous: which shows that in sequential r/W the internal is faster but much to my surprise...

    MacBook Pro Sales

    It's frustrating to see the MacBook Pros get cheaper and cheaper... unless you need a larger SSD! It was always obscenely expensive to get 4-8tb of SSD, but now with the discounts it's literally TWICE as much! </rant> Anyone know a workaround to this?

    Change default HDD?

    Hi. I am considering buying a Thunderbolt enclosure and an NVMe SSD that I want to use with my Mac Mini (2018) which was born with only 256GB. But is there any way to make the built-in SSD of 256GB only work as space for the system itself and so the external SSD will be the one that contains...
