My latest attempt to update Mint on a separate partition crashed that Linux system. I only know a teeny bit more about Linux since I only use it once every two years or so when I want to try having it on my system as a backup in case Windows crashes. Here are some things to consider as alternatives. May your bits be stable and your interfaces be fast. Somebody with Mac experience can tell you about the Mac specifics. There's a possibility that your data could be come inaccessible. Different drives will do different things when they reach end of life. If the drive is close to its end of life, get the data off of it and replace it. There may be a percentage used up indicator. This will allow you to check how many total drive writes or how many TB have been written and compared to the total longevity of the drive. Consider getting the SSD manufacture's own software for monitoring drive health. A level 4 sweep will use up 2 Total Drive Writes, but it will totally refresh the drive. There will be a spec somewhere that says how many TB can be written or how many total times the drive can be filled (Total Drive Writes). Level 4 will read each sector, invert each sector, write it back, read it again, invert it again, write it again. Then, you could run Spinrite on level 2 which will read all the sectors. If you have the capability to, backup your Mac drive. That way the writes are spread all over the media. That means each new write to a logical block from the user interface writes to a new physical location on the disk. But, generally, any solid state memory including SSD's has wear leveling. I don't know if rewriting an existing file rewrites to the same sector. I’m stumped and would really appreciate any tips on how I can get LINK working smoothly on the Mac like it does on the Windows PC.Hi I don' know anything about Mac so someone else with general knowledge can jump in. I can load tracks to the decks when they are located on the Mac local storage but not when they are on the NAS. NB: I have also tried with RB 6.6.9, created a new library, and get exactly the same issue. It still gives the E-8305 error in this configuration when trying to play files from the NAS. If I connect the RX directly to the Mac with an ethernet cable (bypassing the router) then the link button shows LINK indicating it is connected via ethernet, not wifi. In the network system preferences the ethernet connection has a higher priority than the wifi. When I do this, the LINK button is greyed out. I have tried turning off the wifi on the Mac to force LINK to use the wired connection. This test shows that the RX can in fact play files that are on the NAS…so it must be an issue with the Mac…but the RX can play files from the Mac local storage…so it must be a problem with the NAS…but the Windows PC can play songs from the NAS and around it goes. When active, the LINK button shows LINK, rather than the wifi symbol. The Windows PC does not have a wirelesss card and is connected to the LAN with an ethernet cable. I created a new RB library on it, using the same songs/files stored on the NAS. If I try to load a song where the file is stored locally on the Mac (same Rekordbox library, same file that gives the E-8305 error above), it loads to the deck and plays normally. The decks appear in the bottom of the window as expected but when I try to drag a song (file stored on the NAS) to one of the decks the RX unit give an error: “E-8305 UNSUPPORTED” I assume this means it’s linked via wifi. Clicking on the button activates the LINK, the button turns purple and it displays a wifi symbol. When I turn on the RX and launch Rekordbox, the Link button appears as expected in the bottom left corner. Mac mini has wired ethernet connection to the LAN Library database is in the default local location. Rekordbox 5 (5.8.7) running on the Mac mini. Music files are stored on my synology NAS I am having a heap of trouble getting LINK Export working properly on my M1 Mac mini running Ventura.
