External APFS Volume - Forced Ejects and Spinning Beachballs
In a pinch, I purchased a 2020 iMac with the standard 512GB drive. I have had 3 external drives, all when under heavy IO, have multiple issues. Either get the eject error message or system goes into the spinning beachball.
I tried, unsuccessfully to run parallels off the drive and now Photos lock up.
I thought maybe related to APFS and external drives, however, this has been happening since Catalina. All BETA.
