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...

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...

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...

I run an active HDMI to DisplayPort cable from the back of my CKLau-622TH-M KVM switch to the Dell monitor. As far as I know, at this point it works because my second MacBook Pro M1 Max works fine without the CalDigit TS3 Plus docking in between. On my second MacBook Pro M1, I run a DisplayPort...

I have been looking for a solution to connect my MBA M1 with multiple external display and peripherals. I purchased numerous USB C hubs off of Amazon, but none of them seems work seamlessly. Either the 4K monitor would be capped at 30 hz or things simply didn't work. I was decided to buy a...

I have a USB docking station with USB 2.0 that is not working with the larger 3.5" drives (I have tested multiple drives of this size). I've also tested it with an SSD and it seems to work fine. I was thinking the issue could be power supply, but the adapter I have meets the requirements of...

Hello, I have a MBP M1 since it was launched and been struggling for quite some time with Ethernet speeds. Despite having a solid connection all the docks I connected to the mac end up internally on the USB 2.0 bus. Has anyone had a similar problem? The dock I have Dell WD19TB - should be...

If I plug in a docking station that provides power to my MacBook Pro and use it all day... won't this impact the batter of my MacBook? I mean once it's 100% changed should I remove the cable and plug it again once it needs charging or keep the cable plugged in all the time? I always thought...

Hi everyone, I'm posting to see if anyone has found a docking system solution that works with their n ew Macbook pro? I run two 24" monitors on either side of a 34" UW monitor, and foolishly didn't look into if this machine could push them all (my 2015 I upgraded from could, so I had reason to...

I'm looking at using the Targus USB-C universal Quad 4K docking station with 100W power delivery via USB-C with a MacBookPro18,2. The Targus tech support folks seem to believe that this will work based on some 16" M1 Max MacBook Pros seemingly accepting the 96W power bricks, but I have only seen...

I've used a variety of USB-C docking station solutions for my M1 MacBook Pro, and unfortunately, I have been having constant issues with them. The OWC Thunderbolt 3 docking station was one that I've had the fewest issues with, but they ultimately breakdown after a couple months of usage. One of...
