When I plug my USB into my Mac nothing happens?

Normally when you plug in an external hard drive to your Mac’s USB port you will see it appear on the desktop (aka mount on the desktop). If the drive is not showing up on your Mac chances are it has not been formatted correctly, has been corrupted, or is faulty.

Can I upgrade to El Capitan from Yosemite?

If your Mac is running Yosemite (10.10), Mavericks (10.9), or Mountain Lion (10.8), it can run El Capitan. And if you’re running an older version of OS X, you don’t need to do interim upgrades—you can go straight to El Capitan from Snow Leopard or later.

Is there a 10 Gb / s Ethernet adapter?

The final piece of the puzzle is our computer’s Ethernet adapter. Almost no computer has 10 Gb/s Ethernet out of the box (although Apple’s new iMac Pro does, and it should for that price). We purchased five Intel 10 Gbps PCI express cards and installed them in our most powerful desktops.

What kind of cable do I need for 10 Gb / s?

To keep the 10 Gb/s speeds you’ll need to purchase either Category 6a or Category 7 cable. We ended up purchasing around 30 Cat 7 cables from Amazon and we quickly learned that many of the cables claiming to be Cat 7 were not capable of transferring 10 Gb/s. This cable, at least up to 100 feet, was capable of transferring 10 Gb/s.

Is it possible to create a 10 Gb / s network?

We’ve finally done it: Fstoppers has moved over to a new 10 Gb/second network and server and it is incredibly fast. Let me show you what we did and how you can create your own 10 Gb/s network for a fraction of the price.
