external had drive

Some years ago I stored some officials documents on an external western digital hard drive, I also thought it was cool to decrypt them. The operating system was snow leopard, and most of the the files are (.jpegENX) Of course I no longer own a Mac, and I need some of these files to fill in the...

I plan on upgrading to a Mac Studio Max. To figure out what I need exactly I made a diagram of the stuff I plan to attach: What do you think? Does this make sense? Anything I can optimise? One big problem: How do I attach my old Apple Cinema Display (Mini Displayport & USB A) which I want to...

(MBP 2018 15” running Monterey) If anyone has any knowledge of CCC/backing up a failing hard drive please help I believe my external hard drive is beginning to fail, so I am attempting to back it up to a new one before it fails completely (i know, I should have done it sooner..) The original...

I have already scheduled a Genius Bar appointment for this coming Thursday. I wanted to post this to see if there is any hope, but I think its looking grim for my 4 TB G-Drive. This week I updated my M1 13 inch MacBook Pro to Big Sur 11.3. Personally, I am not one to get the latest updates and...

With the "new normal" being working from home with ZOOM meetings my (late 2013 27" imac with 8gb of RAM and 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5) is doing ok. It also doubles as my home entertainment system - mainly HULU and NETFLIX and for this purpose it is doing ok. I also like the rest of those running...

I have two identical external hard drives I wish to use on my iMac. They both show up on Disk Utility as "WD Elements 25A3 Media" I have been able to partition them as I desire, but I wish to change the names of the drives themselves so as to avoid confusion. In the good old days before...

Can someone answer if this actually reliably works? I don't know if it's the usb-c hub that I have that doesn't allow it but when I try to plug in two 2.5" external hard drives into the hub that's plugged into 1 usb-c port on a MacBook Pro, it is capable of reading both drives but the moment I...

Hello, First time post, unsure if I have it in the right section. I brought a OWC thunderbolt external hard drive, with 4 bays running thunderbolt 2 almost 4 years ago. Has worked like a charm. When I got it, I re-formatted the 4x 5TB hard drives that came with it, using Mac OSX at the time...

So i think i'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new hard drive. I am a musician by trade and use my iTunes hundreds of times a day often. So I need a drive that wakes fast, is pretty quiet and extremely responsive I originally purchases, and am now using a Lacie Thunderbolt drive...
