Comment on Intel's new Thunderbolt Share provides file and screen sharing without hurting network performance
abhibeckert@lemmy.world 8 months agoApple has the target disk mode, but doesn’t the laptop need to be shut down for it to work?
Modern Macs can’t do Target Disk Mode. If you had the right cables (thunderbolt or firewire) it was really fast, just as quick as a high end internal PCIe SSD.
It’s been replaced with “Mac Sharing Mode” which operates while the Mac is running normally and is nowhere near as quick or reliable.
