IS 2018 QUICKEN FOR MAC INSTALL
Turn the internal SSD into a scratch/backup/emergency boot “drive”, install Mojave on the external SSD and never look back. Samsung T5) would boot and run roughly as fast as the internal SSD, I’d buy the 128GB Mini and invest is a good quality external SSD. OTOH If I was sure that an external SSD (e.g. Hence my reluctance to buy a larger internal SSD from Apple. So I’ve been assuming that I would be running the OS off of an external SSD for much of the life of the Mini. Since I tend to keep Macs well beyond their use-by-date, I assume the internal SSD, regardless of size, will fail before I stop using the Mini.
But this will be my first Mac, in over 2 decades, where the “internal drive” is not replaceable. So a 128GB internal SSD looks less doable.įWIW I do get that SSDs are very attractive because they are a lot faster/reliable.
IS 2018 QUICKEN FOR MAC FREE
Often I let it get down to 20GB of free space before offloading stuff the MacOS insists on putting in my Home folder. I tend to run my system partition pretty full. SSD performance tends to drop when you approach the upper limit of free space.” hit home. Ploki’s point that “…if you only have 20GB free on a 128GB partition you are pushing it. FWIW my main use of our Mac Mini is…Firefox, Mail, Google earth (2GB of myplaces including numerous historical aerial photo overlays), QGIS (processing shape files -> KML), Photos (decades of photos and videos), Preview (photo processing), iMovie (video processing), Quicktime (video review), Quicken (financial records), MS Excel (financial modeling). Is there any reason to order more than 128GB of hardwired PCIe SSD - if it will only used for the macOS with minimal data (e.g downloads will be directed to an external drive/SSD, etc.)? So maybe I should reword my first question… I’ve been using spinning drives for decades, They are rarely the real bottle neck for me. There aren't any SSDs large enough to handle my data that don't require a bank loan. But frankly I really don’t care if internal SSDs are faster for DATA access. So I do want improved performance for the MacOS activities. OTOH the Mojave OS is a pig on spinning drives - my 2014 Mac Mini runs much faster when my Mojave system partition is on a 128GB Micro SD. Even a 1TB internal hard drive/SSD only holds a fraction of the “Data” that I’d like to access when needed, without fumbling to find the right external backup/archive drive. Are people so caught up on performance that they are willing to give up capacity? There’s a reason I have 16TB of USB 3.0 external storage attached to my current Mac Mini. Special tool for upgraders, too Easy setup tool for automatic downloads. Easy to get started and keep going - Step-by-step guidance helps you get up and running fast. I guess I just don’t get the whole SSD worship thing. Easily import data - Easily import data from Quicken Essentials for Mac, Quicken Mac 2007, and Quicken 2010 for Windows or newer versions.
