    Are the SSDs in the M2 Pro/Max also slow?

    Hi! A few months ago the news came out that the new Macbook M2 have a slower SSD than the M1. In the base model, because in the advanced ones it is not slower: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/26/base-m2-13-inch-macbook-pro-slower-ssd-speeds/ I would like to buy a Macbook 14" M2 Pro with...

    external ssd can't be formatted for Mac

    Heyo All I went thru some of the post but could not find a satisfactory answer. I got a 4TB external ssd in a very small form format, (size of a matchbox just 1/3 of the thickness) for about the same amount I would pay for the aluminium casing it is in. However, as soon as I try to format it to...

    Time Machine Question

    I'm hoping to move some of my large video files off of my Mac SSD and onto an external SSD. My question is regarding the behavior of Time Machine. I keep my backups on a second SSD strictly for Time Machine, and I'm curious if my backed up files will remain on my Time Machine SSD after deleting...

    Hard drives in docking station: Weird behaviour

    My M1 Mac Studio and all devices are connected to power strips. Whenever I leave work I shut down the computer and then turn off the switches on the power strips, so that everything is disconnected from power completely. I have to do it like that and it never was a problem since all external...

    Hello, I need help please. I bought a Portable SSD T7 (Samsung). My old portable hard drives had iPhoto libraries stored on them. The tech support at the store transfered my stored photos onto the new SSD. He knew I used a MacBook and formatted to that effect. My question(s) (and I have tried...

    Convert external drives to APFS?

    I've put the internal drives from my old 2010 Mac Pro into a Sabrent Docking Station enclosure to connect them to my new Mac Studio. 2 of them are HDDs and 2 are SSDs. Would you convert the SSDs to APFS? And is there any risk involved in that conversion? Of course, I'd make a backup first. But...

    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...

    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...
