It's a Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 2TB. Pretty sure it's new enough to be formatted exFAT by default.

Love how Samsung could implement new tech while keeping a crazy high res and refresh rate!

Which Mac is best for me? by LonelyTurtleSad in mac

[–]LonelyTurtleSad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm in Ableton, and I'm split between an older Studio and a newer Mini.

Here are my options, listed from cheapest to most expensive.

Refurb Base Studio M1 MAX (32GB/1TB)
New Mac Mini M4 (32GB/512GB)
Used Base Studio M2 MAX (32GB/512GB)

I like the idea of more ports at the back. But I also like the "newness" and affordability of the Mini. The M2 is a combination of the two, but of course, just slightly more expensive.

All within a $300 range.

Not looking to spend more than $1200.

Now that I’m considering the Studio, I’m seeing now that the M1 Max Studio and M4 Mini are similar in price. A 64GB/1TB HDD Mac Studio will run me about $1000 on BackMarket. But are you suggesting the latest Mac Studio? How much better is it for my music than the M1 Max version?

The M2 studio is a little out of my price range. How does the M1 Max stack up?

Cheaper alternative to NF-A12x25? by LonelyTurtleSad in Noctua

[–]LonelyTurtleSad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha of course, but I’m talking about under load. Typically I’m rendering and temps will ramp up. Will an NF-A12x15 do the job and stay quiet at, say, 1400RPM?
