Apple Releases Fourth Beta of macOS Mojave to Public Beta Testers

Not even after the official release Apple software is stable, but in the case of Mojave it will not brick your Mac, in terms of performance is not any faster than previous releases. My recommendation is to wait until next year (end of first trimester) to install Mojave, there is no reason to believe Mojave will not be as buggy as previous versions.
No. Never use any beta on a primary machine unless you are prepared to lose everything.
Anyone experience the slow speed while downloading it?
Whenever I download a mac update, I get around 600-800KBPS speed in my 30Mbps line.

What he said.
But I use it on my primary anyway, cause I’m prepared. Works as expected, a few glitches but mostly okey!
With that said I have noticed during the years that the betas works better on newer Macs, and I have a MBP 2017. Ironically, my last one - a MBP 2011 - got bricked when beta testing High Sierra last year....
/FWIW
Booting into Recovery Mode then reinstalling MacOS installed Beta 4 on my 2013 MBP. Everything seems okay.
Mojave betas have been a bear to install on my machine. It's always docked and connected to an external monitor. Maybe that causes some hitch. Next time I'll remove it from the dock and see if the update goes smoothly then.
Thanks a lot - doing that now It seemed to have worked indeed.
My Mac was not connected to anything. I think it's an updater issue or maybe it depends on the existing installed SW
Eventually someone will.
It most likely is included, Apple is not stupid you know......
It wasn't bricked, and you know it, it's corrupted or just a bug, it ain't bricked.
I got close to 100 MB/s yesterday.
(Yes MB)I've been out of all things Apple for a few months due to some family tragedies - so if this has been answered already, please forgive my ignorance..
Have the incompatibility issues with RAID been fixed, or am I looking at a complete format and start from scratch with Mojave?

Reboot, enter verbose mode so you know where it hangs.
Command (⌘) – V
right after you here the startup sound, or just hold them upon reboot, release them if you see text appearing on the screen.
Have you tried a safeboot?

Are you advocating running a NON-beta OS? This is 2018!
There is a huge difference between running a dev beta with the associated risks and what they are asking. Answers always no unless they're fully prepared to use recovery mode at any given moment.
For me the download was pretty slow until about 70% and then suddenly is was blazing fast. My final “40 mins” was like 1 minute.

So the 2018 mbp throttle bug is fixed in this mojave beta.
