• 3TB of Storage success

  u/TheBigPete Favor to ask of you that would be tremendously appreciated! Can you do a clean restart and quit all background running applications? Once done, launch (install if need be), CrystalDiskMark (https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/) and run a standard speed test on your SN740. If you can attach a screenshot of the performance results, it'd be amazing! Source: 11 months ago

• SSD drive download speed

  What’s the utilization of the SSD when you download things? You can see it in task manager and it will just give a percentage from 0% - 100%. It could be that your download is slow purely because the SSD can’t write fast enough. What is the SSD too such as brand, capacity, etc. As some SSD’s are just fake. Just making sure that’s not the case! You can also check the Read/Write speed of the SSD using something like... Source: 11 months ago

• Go Pro Hero 7 White keeps stopping recordings

• Problem with modpack disk usage

  How old is it? In task manager, sort the processes by disk usage to see if something is hogging the drive. Also may be worth running a benchmark for the SSD to see if its even running as one would expect. CrystalDiskMark is a good utility that is easy to use. https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/. Source: 12 months ago

• HELP PLEASE: MAC AIR ULTRA SLOW CPU

  iStat Menus has been around a long time and is very reliable. I've used this for many, many years on numerous different Mac models, and it's top-notch. It displays all sorts of system statistics in the menu bar and lets you define custom fan controls for different component (CPU, etc) temperatures, all in a nice, sleek interface.

• After dreaming of Al Gore's setup for 15 years, finally I got this:

  Don't do this on my behalf but if you're ever curious yourself, on some other date, you can use iStat Menu among other utilities or readers to check GPU utilization, thats a lot easier to read than Activity Monitor. If using iStat, go to iStat Menus, click on the CPU/GPU dropdown, then the GPU in the active items bar, and select processor. You'll see a graph and you can just let that sit for a few minutes and...

• ACC + Steam working great with apple's game porter

  Fantastic! I read that it is an M1, but what model and configuration exactly is it? If you like and are curious, install this app https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/, it tells you everything, temperature, fan RPM, etc. Source: 11 months ago

• MacBook Pro keeps heating up really fast.

  You can monitor the internal temperatures with iStat Menus or similar, but there's really no need. The system automatically adjusts fan speed to cool itself off when needed. Source: 11 months ago
