    SSD performance in Docking Station much lower than expected

    I have a Sabrent DS-SC4B Docking Station connected to my Mac Studio via USB-C. In it there are 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs, which I previously used in my old 2010 Mac Pro. I expected the drives to perform better in the new enclosure since they are now connected via SATA 3, while before it was SATA 2 in...

    External HDD/SSD enclosure for a Mac Studio

    Which external enclosure would you recommend for use with an M1 Mac Studio and a mix of SATA HDDs and SSDs? I am looking for 4 drives in one enclosure, more or less. When I last looked into this over a year ago I settled on the Sabrent DS-SC4B. Is that still a solid choice or did something new...

    2019 21.5 3.2 GHz i7 - drive configuration question (1TB SSD & 1TB HDD)

    Just purchased a 2nd hand 2019 iMac (21.5 model - 3.2 i7). It was advertised as having a 1TB SSD, but upon receiving it and firing it up, it appears to have a 1TB SSD AND a 1TB HDD (see screenshot). Has anybody seen this configuration before? Would it originally have been set up as a Fusion...

    OWC SSD cable missing temperature sensor (iMac 2011)

    Hi all I have inherited a 12,2 mid 2011 iMac with an OWC SDD kit including caddy adaptor and cable with temperature sensor... Except that the sensor itself is missing, the previous owner found that it was stuck to the dead SDD drive and trashed it! So I have the cable, all working fine, but no...

    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? The presence of a non-bootable—and also unrecognised 8TB HD—in the left-most position, on start-up appeared to prevent the machine from advancing beyond the chime, despite the presence...

    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. Ideally, I would opt for the base model and upgrade to 16GB/512GB, but I need it by next week and can't wait...
