Mac mini

Weird because I have a T7 I use for music production and I’ve been getting slow disk/overload errors in logic on an M4 Pro Mac mini with 24GB ram. That machine is more than capable of what I’m throwing at it and I’ve had 2015 Intel MacBooks and M1 MacBooks work larger projects off the same drive fin

ARM Mac writes/reads at about 70%-80% of max speed of external drives on M1...M3 and slightly faster on M4/5 Pro Macs . My M1 Mini Blackmagic tests: USB3.1 Gen 1 Samsung T5 writes at about 350 MB/s. USB 3.2 Gen 2 Samsung T7 writes at about 750 MB/s. CORSAIR EX400U 1TB USB4 writes at about 2,900-3,00

My Mac Mini tip: Remember that you can add a dock and add all the storage you could want, but you cannot add RAM. Second tip: Apple now is only making 16 or 24gb with the regular M4, if you want more than that they will force you up to the M4 pro which increases the price dramatically. You will find

I too have a $500 m4 mac mini. The onboard 256gb is an insane constriction. Especially with the strange apfs system files and imessage attachments and shenanigans. Was your storage upgrade easy to do?

Good on ya for getting it configured. i had been too preoccupied with my fiddling with my 5090 SFF desktop and rejiggering my 3090s into a dedicated GPU server to be able to make a dedicated NAS system... I couldn't get around to the project of giving my M4 Mac Mini a sane SSD upgrade and now chip-p

Even if those read/write speeds are true (and I have my doubts), the M4 Mac Mini has USB 3.1 gen 2 that has a max theoretical transfer speed of up to 10Gbps. That would equal 1,250 MB/s. Real world performance will often be in the 50-80% realm, so you'd already be limited by the transfer protocol. A

It does and it doesn't. As an example, the local college bookstore has some in stock (at least last time I checked) . My granddaughter returned hers shortly after she got it finding it too limited. She was able to get a Mac Mini M4 24GB for 100 bucks off through work. Freaked her out when she maxed

"I saw that Apple are getting rid of the m4 mac mini" fake news.... Apple can't make enough. All Macs with larger RAM and SSD are in short supply caused Local AI/LLM models demand for RAM/SSD and pushing prices up to 1,100% in the last 12 month, For any manual work (Not Local AI) get at least 24GB +

Like the Neo, who the fuck is buying that shit. You can't compare soldered mobile whatever with mini pc. I'm using apple and Windows and I can say that apple at the moment is no go for me. For the price of Neo I was rather invest my money to Zbook 15 G8 with 128 GB memory, RTX A3000 and 4 NVMe drive
