New Mac Studio Very Slow To Access External Drives Hey smart people, New Mac Studio owner here (finally upgraded my 13 year old iMac). Plugged my external hard drive that serves as my photo library storage and the new computer is INSANELY slow to access the drive. Takes 15-30 seconds to open a folder, scrolling within folders is slow, and previewing a pic is slow. Any ideas what could be causing this? I've got 2+ TB of photos in storage that I don't need to access daily, but I do reference or pull for decks and there's gotta be a reason. Have seen other threads on the matter, is not a NAS. Just USB connected into an elegato hub because the new studio has USB-C ports. Same exact setup as with my old iMac (just a newer hub) Thanks!
