The Samsung T7 SSD 1TB in gray, blue and red is available from Amazon at the lowest price it has ever been @ $129. Looks like it is an early Black Friday discount. This drive would be perfect as an APFS bootable clone or data only backup to use with Carbon Copy Cloner. And it would work quite...

Hello! I recently purchased an external G-Drive R-Series 2TB SSD. I just reformatted to APFS without partitions, and now in Disk Utility, it is showing up as both as an internal and external drive. Is this a sign that something went wrong, or is this Catalina? Container disk3 jSSD =...

Hey guys first time posting on this forum ever in my life. Yesterday I upgraded my Mac mini drive to a Samsung 860 SSD but when I tested the drive speed it never reached max potential! I got around 200mb/s RW. I would like to mention that this SSD was previously installed on my Windows pc and...

Hi! A few weeks ago I had the built-in 256 GB SSD in my MBP Mid-2014 replaced with a 960 GB SSD from Transcend. So far everything works very well. But since the installation, it happens again and again that the MacBook restarts when it is closed in hibernation, or at the moment when it is...

Hello all, I recently added in a Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 to my 2010 Mac Pro (5,1) via a PCIe Card in one of my internal slots. Since installing, the card will be listed as an external drive on my desktop then minutes after starting (or restarting) my machine it will show that it has been...

Hi guys, I want to upgrade my MacBook Pro 13” Mid 2012 by replacing the original HDD with a Crucial BX500 SSD. Using recovery mode and a USB to SATA cable I initialized my SSD (APFS). Then I installed Mac OS X Mojave and continued like a new device. With Migration Assistant I moved all the...

As in one of my past posts, i have had an issue with my SSD, which possibly caused by a problematic caddy. I attach a screenshot of the disk utility and SSD info panel for you to get a clue of my issue. After i removed the ssd from caddy, i plugged it in an external cheap housing from china...

Hi, I have a 21.5”, Mid 2011 iMac running High Sierra. I would like to lengthen the life of the machine, so I was thinking of hooking up an external SSD to its thunderbolt 1 port. Ideally this external SSD would also be bus-powered. The plan is to put the OS and all my apps onto this SSD (if...

Hi, I just had my HDD replaced by with an EVO 860 SSD, and intended to use only the Evo & just ignore the 128Gb drive. However the Company who did it re-fused the new Drive with the Apple 128 GB SSD re-creating a Fusion Drive. Unfortunately this produces a drive where you cannot add any...

Will putting my Mac to sleep running MacOS 10.13.6 wear out my SSD? Are there any tips that I should do to keep my SSD healthy? For example, one of the things I do in Linux I set noatime in /etc/fstab on my SSD device. Any tips, links, etc would be appreciated.
