Any third-party device, will not attach, what you have to do is have a USB keyboard and mouse attached to turn off the firewall. The biggest issue is Bluetooth with my configuration, when the Mac Mini is ship from Apple the firewall is switched on, using the Logitech MX3 range of keyboard and mouse which will not communicate out of the box. In this new format I just unplug this external USB SATA drive, and plug it into the new Mac Mini and M1, 64 GB of ram when available, which is only for video rendering and video exporting.įor other apps for example Drobo dashboard, there has been a few issues and there currently is a beta app. It took me four weeks to move Lightroom classic and all the attached workflow files for example, export, plugins, watermarks presets and logos, and get the workflow that I’ve built up over years working right In this configuration. You may ask why I run it on an external USB3 SATA drive via a hub, basically I’m waiting for more RAM. Performance is excellent, my set up is I have an external solid-state drive which I run the Lightroom Classic catalogue on, without any problems, over 400,000, YES nearly half a million Images on a Drobo.

The Adobe creative cloud suite which includes Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and Photoshop have been running just fine. Purchased back in January 2021, an Apple Mac Mini M1 with 8 core CPU and 8 core GPU, 1TB of storage and 16GB ram.īasically, my experience has been very positive regarding this new chipset.

Not quite Mac Book Pro M1, however same chipset.
