    USB Hub compatible with Samsung T7 SSD

    I have a 2019 MacBook Pro (2 Thunderbolt 3 ports) and recently bought a Samsung T7 external SSD. The T7 doesn't mount or even appear in Disk Utility when connected to my Anker USB Hub (eg at Amazon). The light on the T7 comes on, but the Mac doesn't see it. An older external HD (not SSD) does...

    Boot the Unbootable: Sonnet SSD Pro RAID0 SATA Leopard

    I've been following along with a few of these types of threads concerning booting / compatible PowerPC SATA (SIL-)controller cards. I came across this TSATA6-SSDPR-E2 from Sonnet and decided to test it in my Dual G5. Without further ado – there is a way to make it work as a super-fast RAID0...

    MP 1,1-5,1 SLED positions left to right — 1, 2, 3, 4

    Curious as to whether the position of HD/SSD sleds makes any difference between slots one, two, three or four?

    Hi, I have the new 14" MacBook Pro M2 and need an external drive. It needs to be fast so an SSD. I have read some confusing things about what the MacBook speed they actual support as opposed to what it says on the box. I hear it doesn't support some of the USB speed specifications so I don't...

    Fledging SSDs

    What happened to Fledging? The company made some SSDs with Apple's proprietary connector for MacBook Air/Pro 2012-2019 with High Sierra pre-installed. Am currently looking for their 1tb drive but their website is down and very few of their SSDs seem available online. Did they go bust? DS

    Hi all, I do mild/moderate video editing (mainly HD with most videos under 5 minutes, but there is a chance that there may be some 4k in the future), and I'm considering the new M2 mini.

With my usage throughout the life of this device, I can confidently say that there is no way I would...
