[QUOTE="henryoakley, post: 1620285, member: 138832"] Thanks, yes formatted fine into exFAT. I want to update the firmware/performance because once this drive is set up, it will be read only for sample based audio production, streaming multiple 24bit audio files. I've read that the read speed of the drive significantly slows down after 6 months without the firmware update, which is really relevant to my use of it. I hadn't even thought about TRIM. When I look in System Preferences, go to SATA, and look at the internal Apple SSD, I can see that TRIM is supported. If I look at the USB bus and look at the SSD enclosure, there is no mention of TRIM at all, either to tell me that it is supported/unsupported or on/off. I don't understand this? Does TRIM work differently / not at all for an external drive running across USB? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
