However, modifications like this can be a bit difficult. (I think this would be the bottleneck that you would want to attend to before attempting to run eGPU if you go that route.)įor your current MBP, apparently you can increase speed and storage a bit with this adapter:
#Millumin h265 mac
The one I got is the first M.2 adapter proven to not cause issues when adapting a standard M.2 to a mid-2014 macbook pro, but I think the mac mini 2014 requires apple-only blade-type SSD. I wonder if there's a proven adapter for the mac mini you referred to. I miss out on so many permutations / possibilities due to hardware limitations, and with the iPadPro (adobe draw / affinity / astropad) allowing me to create complex vector art and do post-production on photography even faster, I'll need this kind of power as I push the boundaries of what I can create. Professionals of all kinds - not just creatives - need more power if we want to work as fast as our minds can go.
#Millumin h265 Pc
Guess I need to try another tact, but not sure where I would go - maybe some other forum or social media environment where I could find creatives who might have tried this? I think it's odd that the majority of high performance computing discussion is all related to PC and gaming. Still, I'd like to see real world examples of other creatives using this solution - regardless of whether it's tb2 or tb3. I think I'm just going to have to wait until I get the latest MBP and then run eGPU through thunderbolt 3. I've done plenty of creative in PC environments, and I could do it again, but it just feels better on mac.
#Millumin h265 mac os
I've explored the possibility of building a PC, but I rely on the sense of 'flow' the mac OS enables for me. I'm a bit wary of spending all the money if it's not going to give me a real advantage. I've been considering getting an external GPU housing that runs over thunderbolt 2 so I can use a card like the WX9100, but like I said in my last post, there seems to be ZERO creatives who work in INDD/PS/ILL who are doing this and talking about it online. Still, I need something that makes the vector rendering faster when I combine these with complex typographical and illustrative elements, as I still get into lag in those areas - as always. Recently I've done tons of post production work on a cosmetics shoot with huge multilayered images around 300mb-1200mb each, and the performance increase was VERY noticeable. Read/write speeds went up from around 600/400mbps to around 1350/1300mpbs. So I upgraded the HDD to a Samsung 970 Evo m.2 (1TB) and it's been operating smoothly for one month now - buying me some time. I was going to buy a 2018 MBP so I could run eGPU (with WX9100) over a short thunderbolt 3 cable, but I decided to make my current MBP last another year when I found out that simtech sells an adaptor for M.2 hard drives that actually works in my mid 2014 (11,2)
