    iPad iPad Pro 10.5/12.9 SSD Storage Speed test 64/256/512GB

    I am a student who owns the iPad Pro 10.5 64GB gold and I have been very happy with it so far. One day I downloaded an app to test my iPad disk speed and noticed the write speed is half the one on my iPhone 8 plus 64GB. I saw a similar thread for iPhone 8/plus/X somewhere on this website and...

    Very faint electronic noise from SSDs?

    Just noticed a very faint electronic noise coming from the SSD in my 2015 15in rMBP. I only noticed it last night while working in a quite room, and don't recall ever hearing it before having had this laptop since 2015, but then I've mostly used the machine while outside of my home. This is what...

    Important if you buy a used MBP and replace the ssd

    I just got a 2015 13" 16gb RAM machine and put a 1T drive I had in it (it's very easy to do -- takes 5 minutes). Then, when I tried to boot up, it did not recognize the drive. I was worried about some sort of hardware inconsistency with the SSD, but finally realized that my SSD was formatted by...

    Will any PCI-E SSD adapter work in an Xserve?

    I have a 2009 Xserve that works perfectly only for the built in disk controller/cables. Bottom line is the 3 disk slots at the front won't work properly. They power up and spin but the system won't see them no matter what I do. I can boot via FireWire no problem. While not ideal, I am going to...

    256GB/512GB?

    I mainly use my MacBook Pro atm for editing with an external drive, would you say that a 256GB with a 2TB external drive would suffice for my editing needs on a 27-inch iMac 5k retina? Or would you say that playing it safe and spending more money on the 512GB would be worth it??

    Is running an SSD from Thunderbolt as boot drive identical to having an internal drive?

    On a 2017 5k iMac. Could you use NVMe to get the same speeds? And if not how big of a difference would it be? I am not willing to pay Apple's exorbitant prices on SSD but may want to upgrade to this in the future if it is in fact an upgrade over using a Fusion drive.
