This is great! looks easily accessible (though how much I spent on this I'm hesitant to do this). But any clue what kind of SSD is that and where to buy one?

Nice!!! Thank you! And I don't mind the power brick as these wont be used portably at all and I can easily hide the brick! This will likely be the one I pick up!

This is where I'm at, I'm hoping to to find a fast and reliable thunderbolt NVME enclosure to hold two NVME drives to add to my Mac Studio. Anyone have recommendations???? In my current hackintosh I also have a 2.5 and 3.5 HDDs that are mostly just old files that I rarely need access too so...

Agree. But fair to add iMac comes with webcam and the fact that you technically save desk space with the all in one. That said it’s still not as good of a deal IMO.

s nice! The demand for these is nuts I ordered mine within 30 minutes of the apple event ending and mine is scheduled to be delivered between April20th-27th. I know some of the upgrades had each added a week or two.

I'm probably out of my league in this convo, but wouldn't the fact that this article and benchmarks are for the M1 Max in the MBP make it not a fair assessment of the M1 Max in the studio which should be capable of more power being its in a desktop with dedicated psu and better cooling?

I ordered my ULTRA!! I've been using hackintoshes as my primary work desktop for 10 years! All thanks to this wonderful community! Long story short I've been in need for a more powerful desktop as I've got more into animation and have been tinkering with 3D modeling/animation. I've also got...

Yeah I need to do that (sell my RX580). I also have a gtx 1060 6gb I could sell prob make a dent in the new purchase.

Same here, though I'm playing with the idea of buying a refurbed M1 Mac mini to replace my current hackintosh until they announce M2/M1X, at which point I either get that or invest in a "Hackintosh-Pro" The M1 mini beats out my current build in single core and multi core.... BUT I do have 64GB...

I haven't really been that thrilled with my RX-580...but then again bulk of my rendering is on the CPU and my 6700 just isn't cutting it...

Yeah, I really got to get my hands on one and use for a couple weeks, I've seen some reviews where rendering video performance looked fantastic... but realistically how far out is the next model or more powerful M chip? Also 27" monitor would've been nice...

sigh.... I really need a new mac for design/animation... this whole M1 thing is making me too nervous to build a hackintosh right now, but this M1 imac probably not going to cut it in terms of what I need/want. What do I do!

So I can confirm no more sudden crashes since disabling X.M.P. in bios (Ram now at 2133 instead of 3000). Not sure why this happened as I've run this system with X.M.P for several years without issue. Could it be the reflash of the bios (though it was to the same firmware # I already had, so...

So last night I found the app Rember for mac, a Ram Tester. My computer kept locking up in the same fashion just a few minutes into the test. I got the idea from another forum with similar issues to turn of XMP in BIOS (which Ive had on since I made this build almost 4 years ago) and with XMP...

Starting to think it may be a RAM issue... I ran MEMtest and one time it ended at 16% (or froze, the cursor was still blinking, but nothing was happening and no matter what keys I pressed nothing happened) It said it had 166 errors. The 2nd time I ran it it made it to 30% before freezing (again...
