WHy SDA goes 0 MB/s for some looong periods of time?🫩 I just switched from pc to Mac, bought the N15 update, bought the absolute 7 update and… I have to spend a day installing …or let’s say waiting… because it really does not work all that well… then some libraries DO NOT go to the location on an external drive I choose… and my poor super expensive internal ssd is getting these library/application support installation I do not even understand how this apple storage works… hoped for Steinberg Library manager to be able to Manage but it seems Ill have to move all and I don’t know if it will… It was much easier on PC… I love this Mac but…Please can anybody help to see if this is ab apple authorization problem or what? am I going to be able to quickly move all these 120 gas from the internal drive to the one stated both in SDA and Library manager? Thanks
