    SSD Issue on ARM Macs

    Because there is a huge thread now, it’ll be hard to read what is discussed about this issue and what has helped. TL;DR: Update to 11.4 Big Sur as soon as you can to solve the SSD issue. As many are already aware (and to those who are new to this issue), the problem was largely fixed by macOS...

    Installing dual drives for 27inch iMac (HDD2.5 and SSD2.5) using mounting bracket

    I'm currently upgrading my 2 Imacs one that’s late 2009 and another that’s mid-2011 and trying to not spend too much. I have also recently upgraded my 2 of my 2012 MacBook pros. I replaced the HDD drives with SSD and so have 2 spare 1TB and 500gb HDD. So I know in most cases it is best if you're...

    MP 1,1-5,1 cMP 2.1 slower using SSD than HDD

    Hi guys, got a cMP 1.1 for peanuts. It was working decently (and by decently I mean astonishingly fast for a 15 yo computer), booted in 10 seconds, overall workflow was great & snappy. I wouldn't be myself, if I wouldn't try to make things better, so I took an SSD laying around (it was working...

    Black Magic Disk Speed Test alternative, for testing disk speed

    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...

    Replace 2019 iMac 1TB Fusion with Internal or External SSD?

    Hi everyone, I have a 2019 5K iMac that just went out of warranty and the 1TB Fusion Drive has been very underwhelming. I bought the Samsung 870 QVO 1TB SSD and simply want to know if there will be a difference in whether I run it internally or externally. I know that there are faster options...

    Mac Mini M1 can't recognize external SSD

    I recently bought a XPG SSD (SX6000 Pro 1Tb) and an Orico case, to use as an external SSD drive. When I plug it into my Mac Mini (M1), it doesn't detect it. It doesn't even appear in Disk Utility. I tried in an older Mac with Mojave, and it doesn't recognize either. I tried in another Mac (that...

    ACASIS USB4 M.2 Enclosure users, are you able to boot from this enclosure as well as enable FileVault? I plan on getting a WD Black SN750 for it.

    I have read that some external drives work fine with M1 Macs but cannot boot Big Sur from them. Likewise, I have seen some able to boot externally but then FileVault does not work. Can anyone who uses this drive/enclosure confirm that both external boot and FileVault encryption works with the...

    longer booting time with the 2 ssd's

    I have installed the 2nd ssd on my mid2010 iMac and the booting time seems to be longer than it was before when i had the HDD inside (ssd was primary). Could it be some setting thats needed to be changed? Could the system be taking time to decide which of the two ssds is in charge or something?
