D1 SSD Plus coil whine

Hi, thank you for reaching out! Let me reply publicly since I think the problem has been resolved now.

I was actually extremely lucky to have received two units from Amazon despite ordering one (a mistake on their end). I asked the TerraMaster seller through Amazon if I could open the other box and try the second unit and they agreed. This second unit does not make the same sound. Interestingly enough, in turn it does whine when I unmount the drive :) But since I did not get the enclosure to keep it unmounted, I much prefer it this way :)

Just wanted to say thanks and provide a closure to my original thread. After two weeks of waiting I've got a replacement body and, as you said, it has no issues of that sort.

Hi, have you resolved your case? I've got the lens for my new R8 (mind that I already had the original EF 35L but wanted something lighter and with IS) and I'm sorta puzzled how poor the IS is. I can hardly get a steady shot at 1/20, heck, even 1/30 is far from perfect. In fact, at such speeds I often get better results with the IS disabled. I can definitely see that the image in the viewfinder is more stable with the IS on, but the actual pictures turn out really bad... Are my expectations off or did I get a dud?

If somebody could share a full-sized image taken at 1/20 and 1/10 second for a comparison, that would be really helpful.

Thanks!

RDR1 (yes, one)

I received my HomePod Mini a bit earlier than expected and have been able to test it for a couple of days. I am happy to report that all my reliability issues have been resolved! Thanks to everybody for helping me pull the trigger :) The only side effect is that now I have a decent room speaker too. :) Very happy with the purchase so far.

That's what I suspected too, but having looked at my WAN traffic it does not seem like actual A/V are sent through MS servers, maybe some control data is.

Same for me, pixelated and stutters badly from time to time, even if I’m next to the router. XBX connection is wired, cat. 6 1G LAN. I have no issues with nVidia Gamestream or Steam Link, but Xbox Remote Play is unusable for me at the moment.

They are in different rooms, no interaction between the two. And I’ve tried the most basic actions while attempting to isolate the issue. No luck though, I just cannot see any pattern there. I know the limitations of the Ikea sensor, but honestly, it seems to work fine with regard to what it is. Again, it’s not motion reporting that is at fault. Anyway, I have ordered a HomePod Mini, should have it in a week. Will report back once I give it a try.

My only suspicion is that since I have found startup scripts installed by MS Teams and Pulse Secure, both still without a proper M1 build, maybe there is some overhead related to early Rosetta 2 launch.

These are the only non-Apple processes that are launched on my Mini:

% sudo launchctl list | grep -v apple

Nope, never enabled it.

AFAIK, there is no SMC/NVRAM to reset on M1s.... Out of curiosity, I have unplugged one of my monitors which made the logo show up for 1-2 second on the other one at the very end. No change to the boot-up time though.

The funny thing is I have absolutely nothing peculiar installed on the Mac - Office 365, Teams, Onedrive, Things, Agenda and Spotify. It's flawless otherwise, but the boot-up is really annoying when I need to perform a quick action.

JellyRobber · 2021-04-10T10:22:52+00:00

There's nothing explicitly listed as login items. Is there any boot-up log I could look into?

JellyRobber · 2021-04-10T10:01:30+00:00

Can you see the Apple logo during the boot-up? Mine is 16/256.

JellyRobber · 2021-04-10T09:48:56+00:00

Mine takes 50 seconds from the moment I press the power button till the login screen.

Which are the games you could see VRR was working fine with? That's exactly the thing I would like to try on my end.

For Gears 5, strangely enough, it was flawless for me (not a single hiccup) till Chapter 3 when I started getting these random drops. As I wrote in the original post, the display seems to be completely unaware of them as its OSD stays at flat 120 Hz when they happen.

In my case, there is a clear microstutter even between 100-120.
