#Best mid 2012 macbook pro ssd mac#
If I were in a situation of considering 8TB SSD, I might simply just get a Mac Mini with no less than 2x cpu performance and upgradeable up to 64GB ram, for me that would seem as more useful value than that much bigger SSD storageĮDIT: I remember why I always prefered anything but QVO - if you check warranty, those cheapest QVOs have 3 years, then regular EVOs have 5 years, and PROs have also 5 years - it may be unimportant, but there must be a reason Samsung skimps on that One can back them up on HDDs, but very slowly, and running any application on a HDD formatted with APFS is like swimming in mud.)Ĭlick to expand.to be perfectly honest, although I embrace SSDs as the only worthy drives for studio rigs nowadays, I would NOT go for such large capacity SSD unless absolutely not having any other option (like multiple drives, nas array etc.),īecause frankly one of my 500GB 860 EVOs bricked within less than year of casual usage, luckily it was just a system+programs drive so no valuable data loss, and luckily I was given a new piece as a within-warranty replacement, but such occurrence reminded me of how unreliable a single-storage solution remains to be, no matter if it's HDD or SSD,Īs you previously mentioned upgrading into "only" 16GB ram, I don't assume you'd be able to run sh!tton of libraries or tracks anyway, so in my eyes having such massive amount of storage would be basically wasted, populated with data you wouldn't even use once a year - in which case external SSD might do just fine perhaps? (One thing worth noting: the newer APFS-format OSes cannot be backed-up on HDDs, due to how they're designed to run on SSDs.
I'm not impressed with Catalina, and dissuaded from using it by all the breakage of plug-ins and such. I moved to Mojave from High Sierra mainly to go easier on my eyes with the dark mode, and everything I use survived the move except for Best Service Engine (K'd), with which I was using the Synth-Werk library, fortunately, I'd kept a partition of High Sierra on the SSD, with Synth-Werk still available to me in Logic there.
I also have one of the USB ports occupied by a 256GB shorty USB drive, where my libraries go (Arturia, Gforce, Spitfire LABS, Waves, Battery, Reaktor) rather than on my system drive. HDDs are good for recovering lost data with Disk Drill, I have been able to recover a good 99% of data from an "erased" HDD. I myself replaced the optical drive with a 7200 RPM HDD for data. Check out this presentation by LSI's Kent Smith at the Flash Memory Summit in 2011 for more (specifically, slide seven).Those specs are the same as my Macbook Pro. But if you're dealing with exclusively incompressible data, DuraWrite won't help, and you're going to be missing TRIM support. In a typical use case, you're going to have some information that can be compressed. The rub is that DuraWrite requires compressible data to operate on. The reasoning behind this is that DuraWrite frees up space on the drive that can be used for garbage collection, similar to what TRIM already does. Note also that OWC's official party line is that you do not need to enable TRIM on the Aura Pro due to SandForce's DuraWrite technology. If you want to do this right, follow the instructions linked above. They're often unreliable, though, and some are even outdated, compatible only with Snow Leopard or earlier versions of OS X. There's a bit of terminal window work to lift the Apple SSD requirement, but it's all covered in sufficient depth at Github.īe forewarned that there are programs out there written to enable TRIM support with a single click. Fortunately, the restriction isn't hardwired.
Without this, the process of reading, deleting, or moving data can slow down as the SSD maintains information that is no longer used. Unfortunately, Apple only enables TRIM on its own drives, in a move to perhaps discourage customers from going the aftermarket route. TRIM is the command that lets an operating system tell an SSD which blocks of data are no longer in use and can be wiped, preparing them for the next write.
