    M1 + Anker NVME enclosure (RTL9210B-CG USB 3.1 Gen2) issue and solution

    I used Anker NVME enclosure (RTL9210B-CG USB 3.1 Gen2) w/ crucial 1TB P2 NVME drive for external storage. After I backup 3 of my iOS devices (using symlink) to my M1 and eject the drive, the drive could no longer mount to both M1 and an Intel Mac. The mac sees the usb chipset, but it just does...

    Caldigit TS3 Plus dock - seeking input from other users

    So I just bought a Caldigit TS3+ dock to use with my 15” 2018 MBP and though it seems to be working fine, I found two issues for which I’d like to confirm wether they’re common/normal as I’m currently debating internally whether I should return/exchange it: When using the headphone port on...

    hi, I have a MacBook air and until now I used mini-DisplayPort to VGA but recently it just stopped working (I suspect it because the system update to 10.15)- I tried anything I could find on the web. I'm thinking to buy a USB-3.0(male) adapter to USB-type c (female) and a USB 3.1 Type-C to VGA...

    no TRIM for USB SSD's - Big enough deal to buy Thunderbolt?

    I just bought a nifty M.2 NVMe enclosure for a 1TB SSD, and using USB 3.1 gen 2 get a remarkable...and more to the point, noticeable...speed boost when accessing photo libraries. Now, of course, I discover that TRIM isn't supported for external USB drives. Part of me thinks I should turn a...

    iCloud Backup Storage

    Any recommendations on which USB to use as backup to files stores in the iCloud. I don't want to risk losing additional iCloud files with the Catalina beta. Also, any thoughts on how to backup files in the iCloud to the USB? Can it be automated or is it manual?

    Resolved MBP 2019 External HDD Problem

    So I got my base model MBP 2019 and chose to buy an external HDD to have more space. I tested the HDD on my windows computer and it is working fine. The HDD is with USB 3.1. I also bought a USB-C Hub but I kind of cheeped out on it. It does say it's usb-c to usb 3.1 however. Now the problem is...

    iPhone XS Max iPhone Charging Slowly

    For some reason, whenever I plug my iPhone into my work laptop (Lambda Tensorbook), the phone charges very slowly. The laptop only has USB 3.1 ports, so it should be charging the device with around 900 mA of current. I tested the actual output of this USB port, and it was only at 500 mA of...

    USB 3.1 Gen1 or 2?

    I've been testing a USB 3.1 Gen2 external enclosure quite extensively (it's had some issues, went back to supplier, they couldn't find issues, so sent it back with a known-good cable and I'm testing some more). As part of this, I had it plugged into the supposedly USB3.0 (5Gbit) type-A ports on...

    12" MacBook, transferring files between two 2.5" external hard drives possible?

    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...

    Buying a new 12" MacBook today.. some questions

    I was really hoping Apple was going to update the 12" MacBook alongside the 13" MacBook Air. It's been 17 months since it was last updated.. 17 months with the same pricing.. it seems so wrong to buy it new today but it's the only option I'm left with besides finding one 2nd hand. Having silent...

    USB 3.1 Type-C to Thunderbolt

    Hi, I've got an old Macbook Pro Early 2011 with Thunderbold (the first version I guess). I've now bought a case for my SSD which has an USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C output. Since Thunderbolt supports up to 10 Gb/s, I thought about using it instead of the USB 2.0 ports. However I couldn't find any...

    MBP USB Port stopped working-options?

    My Mid-2014 MacBook Pro Retina's right USB port stopped working. I tried the SMC reset and the NVRAM reset. It seems the only thing left to do would be to replace the logic board which is a $300ish job. I don't want to that and I'd like to keep this laptop around for longer so I'm thinking I can...

    Imac 2017 Speed of Internal SSD vs. Thunderbolt 3/USB 3.1

    I believe I've read or heard that the internal SSD's in the new iMacs are several times faster than what you can get from an external SSD. Does anyone have any numbers on this? I'm asking since Apple's prices for SSD's are, if not exorbitant, at least rather expensive. On the other hand...

    cMP 5,1 Budget Upgrade Plan

    My office has (finally) started to refresh some older Mac Pro equipment. I managed to snag a 5,1 cMP with 12 Core with running at 2.66 GHz (should be x5650's). It currently has 26 Gig of Ram 6x4GB Sticks and two 1GB Sticks. The stock graphics card is a ATI Radeon HD 5770. Right now, because I...
