    External SSDs not suitable for large file transfers?

    SSDs use less power than HDDs so I don't think it is a power supply issue but it may be power related in that the SSD did get quite warm. Maybe there is an in-built safety algorythm to slow down the transfer rate after 60 seconds to stop the SSD from getting too hot and damaging it? Just a guess on my part but if it is correct then no SSDs are suitable for writing large sequential data to. I am attaching another picture which suggests this might be true.

    Maybe others may know different.

    Transfering saved data from Windows 10 laptop to Macbook Pro 16 through External SSD

    I have saved data from Windows 10 laptop to External SSD. I want to transfer the same saved data from External SSD to my new MacBook Pro 16, Can I transfer the data from External SSD to Mac ? Or I need to format the SSD first. So that I can easily transfer
    the data. I heard that while transferring the data from Windows to Mac using External SSD, We have to format the SSD so that it will able to transfer the data to mac or vice a versa. Is it true? plz Explain.

    Installing games with Windows Game Pass Missing SSD?

    Ive just got the gamepass for windows and am trying to install games onto the SSD drive I use for games. The problem is my Games SSD isnt listed, my other 2 SSDs and a WD Black hard drive are in the list though.

    The ssd works and is listed in disk management, but if I got into the windows settings and storage it isnt listed there either.

    Can anyone tell em why this is or whats going on please?
