![]() See the screenshot which compares the dots between Windows and Mac OSX.Ĭarbonite supports file versioning, which means that multiple, older versions of files are kept available. Note: In the Mac version, there’s a red dot that means a file is not selected for backup. Green dots mean files are backed up, yellow dots mean the files are currently waiting to be backed up, and the lack of a dot means the file isn’t selected to be backed up. Carbonite adds a little dot to the file icons that shows you if the file is backed up, waiting to be backed up, or not scheduled to be backed up at all. One little thing I love is how easy it is to identify if a file is currently backed up or not. With true automatic backups, any new or updated file gets backed up as soon as it’s created.) (Certain services ‘automatically’ run your backups on a schedule, but that’s scheduled backup. The saying “automatic backup” is thrown around a lot, but not everyone follows through. This rocks! This feature is miles better than the scheduled backups offered by others. Apple already did that with the 2023 Mac Studio.Carbonite is so easy to use that you might not appreciate all the things it does. And when that happens, the Mac Pro's days are truly numbered.Īm I ringing the death knell of the Mac Pro? No, of course not. Those people will buy the Mac Pro, of course, but how many are there, really? By sliding the Mac Pro market into such a small sliver of its former self, Apple runs the risk of making it the next Xserve - a product that has a place, but is used in such specific cases and by specific businesses that it just isn't worth keeping around. Cards that few people need, but that, for them, makes workflows possible that just can't be done by a Mac Studio. They used to buy Mac Pros because they were faster than everything else Apple made and had room for their very specific expansion cards. There are of course still people, or rather businesses, who will buy the Mac Pro. The Mac Pro market's now smaller than ever If the Mac Pro is a Mac Studio with space, who is it for? It's siill the best Mac for some, but not for many. All of that's fine and dandy.but the Mac Studio has all of that as well. I have no problem with Apple's onboard graphics because it seems to work so long as you don't want hyper-fast gaming performance. Apple silicon doesn't support RAM unless it's onboard. The same goes for RAM - the new Mac Pro has no RAM slots to speak of because you guessed it. ![]() ![]() That, of course, is because Apple silicon doesn't support GPUs that aren't hardwired in as part of those fancy M2 Ultra chips. But do you know what you won't be putting in there? New GPUs. ![]() Specialist video and audio houses will have cards you've never heard of just waiting to go into those slots. Sure, there are SATA ports for plugging your SSD storage in and there are PCI Express slots - six of them. Now, however, that space doesn't go anywhere near as far as it did in 2019 when the Mac Pro launched. Space to add new graphics cards, space for a ton of HDDs, and space for more RAM memory slots than you knew what to do with. But the Mac Studio has that now, so the key differentiator? Space. That and the globs of performance it offered. Once upon a time that space was what sold the Mac Pro. ![]()
