    New M.2 drive has very slow transfer speeds

    Hello everyone, Yesterday I installed an ADATA SX8200 M.2 drive via a PCIe adapter in my 2009 Mac Pro (flashed to 5,1) and have found the read/write speeds to be less than stellar. For a drive that is supposed to get speeds of 3200 MB/s read and 1700MB/s write, I am getting lackluster speeds...

    I have a base 2011 13" Macbook Air that I've had since new (that I love). Its currently running El Capitan (after experiences with later OSs caused me to revert due to performance issues). It is fairly slow and some basic tasks seem to take a while. I've wiped and reinstalled the OS so its...

    Hi, Sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree as I'm not up to speed on tech. I have an early 2009 iMac with 8mb memory running El Capitan (the latest OS it will take). Recently start-up has been a problem: it takes ages, especially after a crash when each app gets a spinning cog. I've slimmed...

    Upgradeable SSD in 2018 Macbook Air?

    Hi! How likely do you think it is that the SSD in the Airs will be upgradeable (and operate stable on a non-default SSD disk)? Paying $200 for a 1TB SSD + m2 adapter, instead of $1200 for the 1.5TB, is tempting...
