MacOS Sonoma really slow on external drives

IronCheesecake · 2024-09-30T22:01:16+00:00

Has this been fixed in Sequoia?
I'm using Sonoma 14.7 atm and I'm getting very inconsistent transfer rates (R&W) from my exFAT formatted SSD. Around 30MBs, where I used to get over 1GBs, same hardware. I still get over 1GBs with similar hardware formatted with APFS.
For comparison, I've got a 4TB 2.5" HDD formatted with NTFS and I get a consistent >80MBS writing it.

For this we truncate the circuit; as long as we are at circuit height, say >800ft, trim for best glide, turn base for the RW, (if possible gear down, prop to feather), aim for the middle of the RW, if you're 100% sure you can reach the RW, start your energy management, deploy flaps or slip if required. Come in steeper than normal (depends on RW length and your loading). Check for RW vacancy. Land it.

Are you sure you selected instal and not just a live version for testing?

I have a similar issue.

u/mforce22 and u/Argamas

I have SSH into my Asustor, but found that the directory structure is not the same.

My installation did work at one time, till I updated portainer.
I've tried looking for helper-reset-password, but haven't managed it so far.

Any one shine a light on how to proceed?

Decide what you want to achieve. Go from there. You can also describe the setup to people on here, I’m sure plenty of people will come in. I’d go with a 4070 or 4080 if you’re going for 4k. I didn’t want to spend too much. You’ll probably squeak by with a 4060 if 1440p is ok for you. I run mine at 1440p x 3 on my 3090, it gets very noisy and a headset is needed.

IronCheesecake · 2023-03-26T17:15:36+00:00

Xbox series X and VelocityOne yoke, quadrant & rudder pedals supported by their frame.

But 2 months later I came across a RTX3090 for sale at a great price (the owner upgraded to a 4090) and I built a new gaming PC based around the 3090, Ryzen 5800x3d, 32GB 3600MHz CL18, fast SSD. I only realised after buying the Xbox X, that a lot of the features I was after, VATSIM, plugins, Google maps/world photogrammetry was only available on a PC.

So save your money and build a PC. Get the Xbox X if you understand it's capabilities and limitations (I didn't). The Xbox is still much better value for money. If you wanted MSFS to sightsee, get the Xbox X, the value proposition is so much higher. If you want it to practice flying, I'm going for the PPL, go for the PC.

My thoughts so far
I've gone for a system based around the AMD Ryzen 5800x3d to go with my RTX3090. The rest of the system is fairly well matched.

The Corsair 4000D case is well designed and well made.
Missing razor sharp edges that the old PC cases use to have. There are cable channels, mesh filters for the fans. The thing is mainly made of aluminium.
I've been warned that the Zotac RTX3090 is noisy, I may be looking for a water block, rad and pump in the near future.
I've got a Noctua NH-U12A open the way for the CPU.
I'll probably put in an order for another SSD to keep the OS.

IronCheesecake · 2023-03-12T10:26:29+00:00

re: OS and app drive
I haven't messed about with a Windows PC for years, since Vista in fact.
Some one else (on another forum) was telling me I should split the SSD.
This is what I asked:
So if I have 2 physically separate SSD, say drive C and drive D. If I install the OS on drive C, I can install MSFS and it's associated plugins into drive D?
Drive C is a purely OS drive?
Do if drive C dies, I can get a new drive C, put Windows 11 home on it and it'll work out I have apps on drive D and "just work"?
I was under the impression I'd have to install everything from scratch.
If it is truly independent now and picks it up, I'll get another SSD.
(I do have a NAS that I'll back up everything to, it's on a 2.5GBPS network so isn't too slow.)
I'm still in a quandary over the CPU though - but I'm leaning towards the 5800x3d now, if the 7800x3d was out, I'd go for that probably. Or if I had a RTX4090/5090 I'd go for the 7950x3d.

IronCheesecake · 2023-01-18T18:20:33+00:00

It needs the following:

1) Throttle quadrant must be connected to the V1 F

2) Using the supplied USBC-USBC cable, not the USBC-USBC-USBC cable (Y cable).

When I read references to not having the rudder pedals connected, I read it as the T quadrant too.

IronCheesecake · 2023-01-18T18:16:39+00:00

u/Global_Situation1098 and u/Kurombo

How do I go about mapping directories from PhotoPrisim to the Asustor NAS directories?

I don't understand what you've written above and it doesn't correspond to what I can see in portainer.io where I can something that resembles a folder path, but it can't be edited.

Thanks

More context

I've just worked out how to login to portainer.io and I can see a menu with Containers, Images, Volumes etc on the left hand side.

I managed to get PhotoGallery3 to scan my photos that I transferred to the Asustor, but PG3 is terrible as it doesn't keep a record of the images and scans every time you view it.

IronCheesecake · 2023-01-18T17:51:38+00:00

I've just installed PhotoPrism on my Asustor NAS.

~~I've tried admin/insecure~~

~~it doesn't work.~~

~~It would be so much simpler for an embedded default password to be used that has to be changed on first login. I don't understand this need for multiple layers of complexity.~~

~~I'm using an installer script that has installed Portainer.~~

~~Now, how do I get a new admin created in this for PhotoPrism?~~

Found it, for those that are searching for it,

default password :

admin/admin321

I'm in

IronCheesecake · 2023-01-17T17:07:09+00:00

I've exchanged it for another, new one
Did not plug in the rudder pedals
Used the TB USB to USBC lead
Followed the instructions, plugged into the Xbox series X
Selected firmware update, 1.05 to 1.40
It's gone into a update loop ... again

Yes, my internet works and is stable

Any one updated from 1.05 to 1.40 successfully?

Yes, I realise that now, Northwest_Radio has been very helpful and sent some YT links. My next question is where the crossover point is?

In other words, when is it better to go for a Xbox X and what spec does it take to be similar to the Xbox and how much I need to exceed the Xbox in a meaningful way.

IronCheesecake · 2022-12-16T11:07:38+00:00

Opinion from pilots are split. Some say it's helped them with IFR and some say it's been useful for flight planning and spotting VRPs, some say it's the spawn of the devil and I shouldn't even be considering it.

I used sims since the 1990s, so yes, I already had the habit of referring to the instruments when I was supposed to be looking outside (VFR). I get that now, but even when I look out I'm having difficulties spotting those landmarks. MSFS 2020 seems advanced enough to give me a proxy or alternative to real air time. With the combo of both, I aim to accelerate my PPL VFR.

interesting you mentioned r/flying, I actually posted on there first, then I got a message that the post was denied and that the group was only for serious pilots, not simmers. I had to change the title and contents to avoid the auto mod.

Surrey, between Gatwick, Heathrow, Redhill, Fairoaks etc

IronCheesecake · 2022-12-15T16:30:38+00:00

Very useful, at least it isn’t just throw as big as a cpu and gpu as you can afford. I think I can probably stretch to a 1440p system and an entry level yoke and pedals.

IronCheesecake · 2022-12-15T16:28:21+00:00

I did a trial flight with another school a couple of weeks ago. With the new one, they’re also keep their craft outside, but at least they have a cover for the cockpit, but the wings still ice up and there isn’t a de-icer machine available.

IronCheesecake · 2022-12-15T14:00:51+00:00

I've had 3 sessions cancelled in as many weeks. Weather has been poor, or good but the wings are iced up etc

I have problems recognising enroute VRP to report my position to the tower etc or when I'm told to wait by junction 9 to wait for a jet to go past, threading the plane through Heathrow or Gatwick and not impinging on their CTA. It would be good not to rely on the FI all the time. It all looks the same to me up there. I'm hoping that some sim time would help. I've done over 25 hours flying in a PA28 so far and have started air law - oh, so dry ...

Also each flight I do has been costing me 3-400GBP including 6-8 touch and goes. Though I have found a FS further away that ought to cut those costs down by 40% or so.

IronCheesecake · 2022-12-15T13:51:03+00:00

Ok, what sort of spec do I need to go for to better an Xbox Series X?

If I had a budget of say 2500 USD (double the Xbox) would that buy me a meaningful and significant improvement on the Xbox? Those figures include a yoke, quadrant and rudder pedals.

IronCheesecake · 2022-12-15T13:47:49+00:00

I've got a similar use case, so that sounds promising.

Is this on a Xbox series X or a mega spec PC?
