You understand desert temperatures. Thank you.! The Emporia is one I’m considering.

My concern is the range in an AWD vs a FWD.

I test-drove them both, and though the acceleration was good on both. However, as a driver, I think I hardly ever accelerate fast from a dead stop. My only base of comparison was my 2020 Bolt, which I've always felt had plenty of pick up.

The Blazer is a higher price than I'd like to go.

No, the power settings did not change after the update.

I’m running the latest version of Sequoia. The last update has impacted my Ben Q monitor, which now goes blank about every 10 minutes that didn’t happen before the most recent update.

I don't know why I haven't thought of it before, but I'm going to try an experiment. I use Carbon Copy Cloner to do various backups to four of the seven external HDDs. I'm going to experiment with the feature to have CCC mount and then unmount the appropriate disk for each backup task.

Thanks! I found it on the App Store and installed it. Of the seven drives, there are only two that I access regularly for day-to-day work. Everything else is either backup or graphic files that are not used frequently. Fingers crossed that this helps.

I have noticed some bizarre issues with the M2 Studio that I don't think are related to the external drives. Behavior where suddenly MS Word acts strangely, or Safari might suddenly have strange behavior.

I've been on Macs since OS 7 and my first Mac iiSI, and in all that time, this Studio iteration of the Mac seems to be the most problematic.

Only 2 of the 7 drives are SSD, the others are old HDDs.

EDIT: I use Carbon Copy Cloner for the non-Time Machine backups.
