Hello Mac and Windows friends,
What's the latest (2022 model?), cost-effective most robust/durable (long or has the longest warranty?) but good/decent SSD drive for simple office use to upgrade to from the current hardrive (browsing with lots of tabs, puzzle games after work, productivity...
Hi all ...
Can anyone explain to me the difference between the SSD in the 2014 mid rmbp and early 2015 early rmbp?
*both 13"
I assume the bus is faster in the 2015, but:
1. Can you swap the drive between them?
2. Is the "connector" the same? or does it take an adapter?
3. Do they use the...
You may already know that Apple uses 1 single NAN chip in their M2 MacBooks. However, this comes at a huge cost in performance. The 256 GB SSD model on the M2 performs WORSE than the M1 models. That is what SSDgate is.
Apple also makes the claim that the M2 MacBooks are faster, but they give...
I've seen speed comparisons, but has anyone documented any differences between the power consumption of a 1TB vs a 2TB SSD on a M1 MacBook Pro (14" 10/24 processor)? Similarly, is there power consumption data for 32GB vs 64GB RAM?
There have been a lot of posts on the above subject scattered throughout the Apple Silicon, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro fora and so I decided to delve deeper into the close to 9-year-old 512GB SSD of my heavily used MacBook Pro that has 16GB RAM.
So far I have established that at a typical time...
My question only applies to those who bought mba m1 base 256gb model in the last 2/3 months
Would you please report what ssd speeds read/write run at ? Is it 1500/1700 like the mba m2 or 2800/3000 like the mba m1 at launch
Thank you
I'd saw many videos but none of them can analyze this question. SSD vs RAM (Unified Memory (UM)). With this new issue about the SSDs and the swapping to help the RAM (UM), I don't know what is better: Upgrade the SSD to have 2 (256gb) storage meaning faster swapping and storage data management...
I just made a post about my MacBook Pro Retina's from 2012 being bullet proof,
And moments later my system died, apparently with unfixable Disk Utility / first aid reports, Many errors, in fact it reached the max amount of reporting and ended subsequent reports. This was easy to replicate, By...
Hello community,
I am new here.
So Hello! I am Cide.
I have 2 MacBook Pro Retina Mid-2012 (With Samsung LCD Screens!) which I run with Catalina, they are very snappy and a joy to use, Still. After 10 years of owning the same machine, with a 15TB Promise Thunderbolt backup solution in place, in...
I’m a computer science major who will have big coding assignments but nothing crazy. I don’t do a lot of high end editing on a regular basis. My only professional use would be these coding projects, other than that, maybe a light gaming(not a big gamer at all), Netflix and everyday things on...
Now that the dust is well and truly settled on the M1Pro Macbook Pros - what's the general consensus now on whether it's better to sink money into RAM or SSD capacity? I've aware of the Max Tech videos which point towards SSD and relying on virtual memory to pick up the space, but that doesn't...
I have recently purchased a used Glyph Raid SSD 4tb drive and tried doing a benchmark speed test and I was seeing 30/40mb/s for read write? (should be up to 950mb/s)
I have tried to format the drive but I am still seeing the same issue and I have tried a couple of type c cables..
Any help would...
Okay, there are a couple YouTubers who have done BlackMagic Disk Speed Tests on the M2 13inch MacBook Pro, and have found that the speeds are SLOWER than the M1 13inch. I've done some investigating and discovered what I think the difference is.
MaxTech got a write of 1463 MB/s and read of...
There are a couple of videos online with people doing this, but will it cause any issues with the way the onboard flash recognises or communicates with the new SSD?
Does the SSD have to be a similar size as the HD that it replaces?
* An iMac from2019 is my budget maximum. But I have read so...
Hi there.
I found the OWC Aura 1TB SSD module that I must have purchased during a Black Friday special - and realized too late I couldn't use it.
So I'm trying to find an external enclosure I can put this SSD module in.
I can't make heads or tails of which OWC enclosure will or won't work...
Hello, I have a Fusion Drive and run macOS Monterey. When I did a surface test on Windows BootCamp which was a mistake, I lost the SSD part of the Fusion Drive and I fresh installed macOS, I'm only running macOS on the Fusion Drive's 2TB hardisk. This was almost a year ago. I'm still trying to...
Here we are in 2022, latest iPhone Pro. I am preparing for my holiday in Australia, this time trying to shoot exclusively with my phone. With a gimbal, in Filmic Pro, where every 10 seconds counts for ~100MB.
So, I wanted to shoot in Filmic, then export the videos straight to an external SSD...
Hi,
I have a macbook 2017 13'
I tried to install Monterey and it said it can't because I have SMART Errors and the drive can't be repaired and to backup
I looked at disk utility in normal and in recovery mode and both said it's ok
Then I went About this Mac > System Report > Storage
and it...
I had read somewhere that continuously rewriting data on an SSD will wear out the number of write cycles it has and cause it to fail. I reset my new iPad Air so I could restore it from an iCloud backup and get access to my Google Authenticator, but I couldn't, so I reset it again and set it back...
