Ableton Forum

SSDs can have a USB interface, a SATA interface or an NVMe interface. The storage component within all of these SSDs is essentially the same. The P3S has an internal SSD with an NVMe interface; this is usually called an NVMe drive .

By "height", I believe you actually mean "thickness". The ...

Thank you!

I wrote a follow-on article, Thermal Control, and updated Ableton Push 3 NVMe Replacement.

Thank you, please let me know of any other issues.

Are you suggesting that it would better not to use a thermal pad on the larger, hotter NVMe? If not, what are you proposing? Install a larger NVMe but without any cooling? Never make any changes to this perfectly optimized device?

You also seem to imply that it is better to run the P3S without a ...

Thanks for making me feel good.

Thank you!

I just published Ableton Push 3 NVMe Replacement , along with 3 support articles: VirtualBox Setup , Clonezilla , and Supersizing a Partition and Its File System . Originally this started as one article, but it kept growing and growing so I split the information into more manageable articles. I ...

I just discovered that the NVMe retaining pin on a P3S does not attach to WD Black SN750 NVMes. Only NVMe modules with perfectly smooth backsides can lie flat. The SN750 has lots of hardware hung on its flip side. Maybe I could use bubble gum to hold the SN750 down?

From my P3S review :

The P3S microphone input is unable to provide phantom power. This is unfortunate. That means only dynamic and some ribbon microphones can be used, unless phantom power is provided externally.

Some dynamic microphones, such as the popular Shure SM7B, put out a weak signal ...

I am glad my information has been validated

Yes

I finally got an answer:

Push 3 Standalone only supports Gen 4 NVMe drives in compatibility mode, which means they run at Gen 3 speeds. There is no benefit to a Gen 4 NVMe drive when used in a Push 3 Standalone

I found a good explanation for the error you encountered. It seems there is an upper limit to how big the data partition can be expanded to before the block size needs to be increased.

The ext4 maximum (and default) block size is 4096. It seems Ableton is using a smaller block size, to minimize ...

The article mostly discussed running your Mac with a live ext4 partition, which is not a good idea. However, manipulating ext4 partitions is a different activity.

I searched for a few minutes on your behalf, and it appears that Mac users have 2 choices:

1) Use Parallels to run a Linux virtual ...
