Re: TO upgrade, or to change platforms entirelyWWYDWhat would you do?

Hi there No, a Thunderbolt external SSD wouldn’t be faster than a USB-3 one. Average SSD speeds are still way below the speeds which Thunderbolt or USB-3 are able to manage, so whether getting Thunderbolt or USB-3, the speed will be dictated by the SSD and not the interface. The only reason why

Hi Steve, I use everymac.com a lot for verifying upgrade possibilities. They usually have the Apple recommended specs as well as what it will handle from a real prospective. Apple often under sells what machines can handle memory-wise and such. Check this link so you can be best prepared

Re: TO upgrade, or to change platforms entirelyWWYDWhat would you do?

Hi Steve I’ll do some research on parts for your Mini and get back to you in a few hours. Just one thing, if you want Apple to do the upgrade for you, as far as I know they won’t allow you to buy your own SSD and RAM. They will quote you on their parts and installation, even if the same parts

To upgrade your only going to have 2 hardware options Tht machine will take 2 8gig sticks of ram for 16GB total. And As for the HDD if you have a 1tb drive in there now, To replace the hdd with and ssd at the same 1tb drive size you are going to have both a large cost and a nice bit of work

If your only issue is that Time Machine is causing a burp because both it and your music tools are using the same disk I can think of two possibilities to extend the life of your machine. 1. Add an additional hard disk dedicated to TimeMachine. I am not sure what efficiencies there are for USB

Re: TO upgrade, or to change platforms entirelyWWYDWhat would you do?

Hi Steve Firstly when talking Mac Pro I presume you are referring to the cheese grater, since that’s the only Mac Pro which is upgradable, the newer trashcan isn’t at all upgradable when it comes to drives and RAM. The last cheese grater is already older than your current 2012 Mac Mini, without

Re: TO upgrade, or to change platforms entirelyWWYDWhat would you do?

Hi Steve. Every Mac has a seven year life cycle. Therefore, your 2012 Mac will still be good until at least next year. With that being said, if you do go the Mac Pro route, I'd suggest that you buy the newest one you can afford. So if you bought, let's say a 2016 model, that machine would still
