    1 Hard Drive 2 Macs

    So I do a lot of video work and, as such, have a lot of storage. I would like to setup an external drive on a MacMini to run Dropbox and have the same drive mount on my MacPro, at the same time, for use of the files. This would allow my MacPro to sleep while the MacMini syncs with Dropbox. I...

    Anyone using PCIe SSD cards like Tempo? Any success making those SSD bootable?

    Interested to hear some real-life experiences. Theoretically it should be possible, and at least Tempo are officially supported (bootability is not, but apparently doable via OpenFirmware trickery.) What SSD make sense to get for such cards to get the max speed while not overpaying unnecessarily?

    iMac 24 M1 256GB: With so much written data (SSD), should I still buy this?

    With so much written data (SSD), should I still buy this? (iMac 24, 256GB, purchased in September 2021.) This amount of written data counts for a lot. I'm worried because the SSD is not replaceable Thanks
