Thanks for this. I'm running the *previous* Apple Display (DVI) amongst others and it looks as if upgrading the displays/buying adaptors is going to be almost as expensive as buying the mac!

Seeing as even the newer (and very expensive) Mac Pros don't have the 'multiple disk' format I bought the original for, and how powerful the M1 chips are, I'm currently waiting to see if the M1 iMac will do what I need (one less external monitor to hook up), and some external enclosures (which seem fairly inevitable).

I have about 7 tb in use at the moment (2 tb is back-ups) so external disks seem likely to be the answer.

It's surprisingly hard to find out about running less powerful monitors - everything is about video-editing on 4k+. When the M1 iMac comes out, I'll spend an afternoon quizzing someone at Apple about what exactly can be hooked up and how...

cheers,
J

Hmmm! That was a long link, here’s a shorter version <https://tinyurl.com/y62ewmue <https://tinyurl.com/y62ewmue>>

The reason I bought it was for the Mini DisplayPort monitor connection for my old and reliable Apple LED display.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with MEGAMAC other than as a satisfied customer of said product which is used with my newish MacMini.
