The hard drive is a WD Passport 1TB with a 600 gig library, connected by USB. I feel it might be the hard drive since when I'm working just off the Mini I have no issues ever but I'm just not sure. I've tried deleting preferences, I uninstalled my WD Passport helper app, all the normal stuff and it's still barely functional. It will basically refuse to work for no reason sometimes and then suddenly edit like the wind for 4 hours, then crash to a halt again. Sometimes it spikes to 50 gigs of ram being used in activity monitor, regularly up to 30, once it spiked to 100 and crashed the computer. It will take 15 minutes to load my library in Final Cut, not too bad but. I attached the full report but in brief my Mini is less than a month old, running with an M2 chip and 16 gigs of ram (the most I could get) and I feel it's even worse than my laptop. I say this to emphasize how ridiculous my new Mac Mini is behaving with Final Cut. There were some times Final Cut would run fine on there! But others where it would take ten seconds to register every single click and don't get me started on the cooling set up I had with ice packs and a table fan. So, I used to run off a near 10 year old macbook and upgraded since my editing jobs became more and more complex.
