After much reading, I recently switched from PC and bought a Mac mini M2 with 32 GB of RAM and only 512 GB of storage. I only put apps on the main drive. I added a 4TB external SSD that plugs in a hub and use a Thunderbolt 4 to connect to mini. That’s my storage and it’s fast and seamless. I found online a Crucial 4TB m2 card for about $200 vs the $1200 more to let Apple do it. I also backup all to an external 8TB HD using Time Machine, a portable 5TB SSD monthly and subscribed to Backblaze. The cost savings covered everything new and then some. And I use my old 27” NEQ monitor. I’m happy and it works for me! Several YouTube videos online about how to set up the external hub.

I have a couple of questions please.

You added a 4TB external SSD-who makes the one you bought?
And you say you bought 4TB m2 card- why did you need that?
You say you only use apps on the main drive- not sure I understand what you mean. Apps for editing or ?

I'm interested in the 4TB SSD especially.
Thanks for your help.

So my husband may be in need of a new computer. I was thinking of giving him my computer and going for a new Mac with the M chip.

First things I noticed is the screen is now 24” not a 27? I like my 27”…..

Next I currently have 4TB storage, 3TB is already used. I only see the option of 2TB of storage on the new ones. Am I missing where you can get more storage? I like having my photos for at least the last few years on my main computer as opposed to an external hard drive.

My computer is the last before the M chips. Is the M chip that much better if I can find one with moreThanks and not super computer geek, so simple terms are best…..

I just bought a new Mac Studio desktop computer with a 27" monitor. You can still buy the all in one computer- or buy the components separate and set up what you want in monitor size , Ram, storage- which is what I did. Be prepared for sticker shock if you go this direction. The computer itself is a box about 8x8x3 inches and sits on my desk. It has multiple connection ports on the backside and one in the front. You can get it with the M1 or M2 chip. I bought mine from BH Photo and it was free 2 day delivery. They offered a better overall price than Apple (with some discounts) and 12 month interest free or tax paid accounts. I am very happy with the computer performance.

Thanks Thomas- appreciate your efforts. As long as I've been a member there has always been someone that seems to feel it necessary to negatively comment on prices. Whether it's intentional or not the end result is the same. In this case I decided to hang on to the lens for now and try another time. And actually I have been using it more with good results :)

Chat with Adobe. They can employ a remote connection and do the installation. Open Creative Cloud and click on "Help".

Hi Mark- all is resolved. I did chat with Adobe but we got disconnected early on. I remember when they did just what you said but this time all they did was refer me to page after page in their manual. It might be because it was on the weekend and the alternate help crew was on duty. Thanks.

It's a nuisance having to deactivate on one machine to install on another.


thanks Jerry

Read the whole article and see if that doesn't solve your issues...


Problems resolved. All of my pics loaded and I was able to install and use Adobe Creative Cloud. I don't use LR although I did browse the article you linked- thanks. I worked with Adobe via chat until we got disconnected. Then I looked at Launch Pad on the computer and I noticed that underneath the icon of Creative Cloud there was a note that said that Rosetta needed to be installed before Creative Cloud would install- "Click here". I never saw that on previous computers so I was a bit wary-Something about an intel chip/Apple chip was incompatible. So I downloaded Rosetta and then was able to install my Creative Cloud suite without any issues. The computer flies like an eagle :) I tell you this because I thought you might be interested as you are so helpful to so many on this site. Thanks.

Hi, first don’t delete any folders with data on your old computer. Do you still have the folder where the 400 go of photos on the old computer? That should be the folder you point your imports too. Make copy of that folder best bet is copy it to an external drive. Once copied you can have your Lightroom catalog sync up with the external drive.usually your catalog will be found in the pictures folder it is a folder with the .lcat extension. Good luck. I always save copy of my edited photos on a separate drive outside the catalog so I always have a finished photo as a JPEG, TIFF OR PSD. that way I know where my good photos are.

I found the pictures and they did migrate to the new computer. One less issue! And I did back them up again on external drive before I started to do anything with the new computer just in case things went south. I don't use LR- only Bridge for organization and Camera Raw and PS. Thanks for your suggestions.

You will have an Adobe ID. Download and Install Creative Cloud on the new computer. Sign in to your Adobe account and manage your subscription installations.

You can install three, but activate only two installations, and only use one at a time.


Oh what a mess- at least it seems that way now. My passwords were incorrect so I corrected that to be able to get on Adobe. Then I did download Adobe Cloud on my new computer but the installation failed several times. Then I read the codes for the install fail (code 1) but have not been able to correct it. It might be because I already have 2 active accounts on the laptop and old computer but I did not get anything that specifically said that or asked me to choose which 2 out of the three computers to activate to.
Also for some reason my 400 GB of pictures did not appear to migrate to the new computer or at least I can't find any pictures on the computer except for my iPhone ones.
It's all a mystery to me.
It's clear I will need to do a chat with Apple and Adobe.
Thanks for your help

If you still have the license just type it in to the new computer. You can just uninstall the other copy in the other computer. It will be removed permanently from the unit.


Don't think I have a license number since I don't own the Adobe products- paying monthly payment to use. Thanks

When I moved from my old MacBook to my new one, Ps and Lr moved as well. I used Time Machine and the Migration Assistant to make the move.


I already have 2 active licenses on 3 computers so I can't find that Adobe moved with migration. I probably need to uninstall one license in order to activate it on the new computer. Thanks.

I have a new Apple desktop computer, an old desktop computer and a laptop. I just finished transferring data from the old desktop to the new one. How do I transfer the Adobe license to the new desktop and how do I remove the license from one of the computers? Thanks for your help.
