Q: QuestionTime Machine compatible?

Asked 4 months ago by JFullager.

• A:Answer In my experience, yes. I don't know if this is a necessary caveat, but I had another drive that I used for TimeMachine and my current Mac (the hard drive cloned from my previous Mac) requested the old TimeMachine volume but I selected this new drive and haven't had an issue. I've backed up the entire current Mac and then subsequently only the active user account (I keep separate accounts for maintenance).

Q: QuestionWhats the speed of the drive read and write?

Asked 1 year ago by Henry.

• A:Answer Various web sites report that read and write speeds are up to 130GB per second but I had to transfer about 1 TB of data and it took far, far longer than 8 seconds. Actual performance probably depends on the format and organization of your files.
