Just to clarify, Mac only supports 40gbps TB4/TB3/USB4 or 10gbps USB3.1 Gen 2

U wont get 20gbps on Mac as it only works with PC USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 2,

Therefor, the 20gbps enlcosure speed using Mac it will be limited to 10gbps which is about 900++Mbps read/write but for me its more than enough speed.

Ohh sad initially I thought they stated USB4 on tech spec and thought they got 3.2 2x2 as well (20Gbps) 😅

Like that hmm that time should just buy TB3 NVME enclosure already haha

I am underutilizing my macbook pro a lot. Only using it for surfing, watching shows and more surfing. Hahaha! I have been thinking to resell it but then... i am no audiophile, the speakers are damn good! Are there actually any mobile devices in the market that have such good speakers?

worth it. you never knew when you need it but when you do, you will save a lot since the cost of repairing mac is expensive.

Which spec are you on your MBP?
I feel still for me sometimes I can hitting 16GB RAM max and using swap if I'm doing some extraction job on my Windows in ARM Virtual Machine and if running multiple Docker container together

Still the machine is quite awesome, currently I already sell the bought wrongly 20 Gbps NVME enclosure and bought another 40 Gbps NVME enclosure with 1TB Samsung 980 Pro to offload all my big files

Hi all, my 16in M2 2022 is having a black screen issue. I can still see the screen lighting up but it's vage. When connecting it to my home TV as a mirror to main screen it is usable.

Worst is I bought an AOC 27G2SE/68 monitor for temporary use and it shows my desktop but not responsive.

Anyone has come across this issue, do I need to replace my screen. Any recommendations?
