ssd drive

Hello, I have recently added an SSD External drive to my Mac Mini (Late 2014). I connected the drive via ThunderBolt II. I used Carbon-Copy to move the OS and data to the drive. I then renamed it and changed the system start-up disk using System Preferences. I moved a lot of the large data...

This is the first time I'm writing at any forums online in my life! So you can tell how desperate I am to get this issue fixed. I am somewhat in at the outset of a lawsuit and my SDD drive just stopped working. Here's a summary of what happened and what I did: I have a macbook pro mid 2012 and...

Hi everyone, I just bought an used 2015 27' 5k Imac with 1tb fusion drive. I'd like to upgrade the Imac with an internal SSD, is it worth to replace the mechanical drive with the ssd and leave the original 24gb ssd in place? Should the speed be improved? I'm mainly working on lightroom CC and...

I plan to buy a new iMac with a 256k SSD internal hard drive and move pix/videos/media to external hard drive. I don't need large size external... 1TB would be fine. I am torn between getting Samsung T5 SSD which uses USB-3.1 and any other manufacturer SATA HDD connecting with Thunderbolt 3...

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.

So basically I have a Mac Pro 2.1 8 core 32gb ram. I've spent months trying to upgrade to Yosemite using SFOTT and other various software to no avail. I gave in and bought one of those SSD's on eBay which have El Capitan pre installed especially for the old macs. I've plugged the new SSD...

Dear all, I have a Mac mini mid 2011 (sorry for the title it is mid 2011) and I want to upgrade the HDD with a ~120GB SDD. I have searched all day some brands and models SSD and I constantly find info that some models sdd do not work.... (for example I liked SanDisk X400 and have found info for...

For the last year or so I've been using a 256gig SSD on a PCI card as the boot drive, but kept my 600+ gigs of user files on a much larger internal SATA drive. This has worked well enough, however it's starting to cause difficulties with some apps, since OS X now blocks certain processes viewed...

Hi, About TRIM support for external SSD:- Is TRIM supported for external SSD too? Is this by default or we have to do some setting manually? - For manual settings please point to direction of information. I am thinking of buying a Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD. Put this SSD into a proper case to...

I read the following, " an SSD cannot be securely erased. When Disk Utility tries to write data over the entire drive, the SSD’s firmware will write that data where it chooses, and that may mean that some portions of the SSD remain unerased, and thus may contain recoverable data. If you have...

Like the title says, I have a mid-2010 MacPro 5,1. I recently added more ram (now at 52) and replaced all the hard drives a little over a year ago. It's a great machine, but I do feel like maybe there's a little room for speed improvement. I'm a professional photographer and mostly use...

I just bought the midrange 2.4Ghz/8 Gb Ram Mini with the the 1 Tb SATA (windows laptop was dying and Best Buy had a sale). Like I'd heard, Sierra is slow on the this Hard drive. It seems running the computer on an external SSD seems to be the solution. I can't seem to find all the info I need...

I am going to buy a new MacBook Pro 15" touchbar with highest specs but I'm undecided about the SSD size. How important would it be to have 1 or 2 TB SSD (rather than the base 512GB) as opposed to getting an external hard drive? The price premium for a student is 1K for the 2TB and about...
