While using Logic Pro on my M2 Max MacBook Pro I keep getting disk too slow or system overload messages.... I have 1TB of internal and 2 TB of SSD external storage with 64GB of RAM....
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.2
Download Blackmagic Design's SpeedDisk and test the drive.

If the drive is not Apple formatted or too full (minimum 15% free space before your computer acts wonky) you'll get this.
How much free space is available on you internal and external HD?
How is your extrnal drive connected with your computer?
Which external SSD model are you using?
How many tracks are you using?
Are other processes running in the background (backups, streams, emails...)? Check also activity monitor.
Which Macos and Logic version are you using?
You shouldn't have this kind of issue with playing one track. I know from reading other posts, a few other users had similar issues in the past. You will find something with a proper internet search.
How much free space is left on your internal HD?
Have you transferred data from an old to the new computer? What data ? And how did you do it ?
I know many people who work with SanDisk SSDs without any issues, but there are some who avoid them. The discussions can be found on the internet as well.
Over 1 tb left available
USB C connection to a SanDisk SSD
1 TRACK
No other processes. I purchased this Mac just to run Logic
Latest version of both OS and Logic.
fix for Disk too slow or system overload
