    iBook G3 Dual USB upgrade questions

    Hi! During the pandemic, as I had left far away my PowerBook G4 12', I ended up using my iBook G3 (Dual USB, 500Mhz, 640Mb RAM) quite a lot under OS 9 for work, light internet, emails, and music stuff.

    MP 1,1-5,1 BlackMagic speed Highpoint 7101a & Samsung 970

    Hi, I've got four Samsung 970 SSDs in a Highpoint 7101a in Slot 1 (16x) in a Mac Pro 5,1. BlackMagic gives me write of 2508 MB/s, and a read of 2857 MB/s. That's for an individual SSD drive, I'm not using any RAID config. Is that speed around what should be expected?

    New SSD Formatted As APFS - Trim Always? Slow Boot and Performance?

    I picked up a 500GB SSD for my Early 2011 MacBook Pro and upgraded to High Sierra, which reformatted the SSD to APFS. I plan to not completely fill my disk and keep the usage under 80%.
