My LaCie Rugged 4 TB USB-C hard drive's port was getting a little finicky over years of use and transport, and it was almost full, so I got another storage device specifically for doing digital media work when on the go...

A Samsung T7 Shield portable SSD, with 4 TB of storage! We use such SSDs at my college's TV studio, and so I figured I may as well hop on the bandwagon. (The T9 would've been nice but it would've cost more and it wouldn't have worked at the advertised 20 G/bps on my M1 MacBook Air, so the T7 with its 10 G/bps speed was good enough for me.)

Re-locating the Logic Pro sounds/loops library from the LaCie rugged hard drive to the Samsung T7 Shield. Now I need to find out how to do that with GarageBand, since that doesn't have such a "Relocate Sound Library" option anymore and I REALLY don't have the space for the full loops library on my MacBook Air's SSD.

Well, last week my CalDigit TS3 Plus dock somehow shorted out. It'd still get power, as the USB-A ports could still charge my iPhone and my portable charging brick, but it wouldn't do anything else when connected to my M1 MacBook Air. So I had to buy a replacement...

Another CalDigit TS3 Plus dock, but this time it's in Space Gray! I will admit it does look cooler than my older silver one. But it's nice to have all that versatility again, without having to just use my Falwedi USB-C hub and needing to daisy-chain to my Thunderbolt 3 external hard drive.

I just dug up one of those from a drawer I was cleaning out. I almost decided to keep it as a souvenir. Almost.

I don't know enough about apple hardware that old. Printer cable? RS-232 25 pin were the old PC atrocity cables I remember.
