Install Mac Apps on external Storage in macOS Sequoia

If you’re running out of space on your Mac’s internal drive, macOS Sequoia 15.1 includes a handy new feature that lets you install large apps directly to external storage.

Apple is known for charging customers a very high markup for additional storage when buying a new Mac. Given that internal storage usually can’t be upgraded after purchase, it’s no wonder that external drives are a popular solution for many Mac users who want the extra space but don’t want to pay a premium for the privilege.

Until recently, macOS automatically installed new apps downloaded from the Mac App Store to a Mac’s boot drive, which was not particularly helpful to users with dwindling internal storage. In macOS Sequoia 15.1, however, Apple has added a new option that lets you download and install apps that require more than 1GB of storage to an external drive. Anyone working with large apps like Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro, or gamers with space-consuming titles, will surely welcome this ability to download and install large apps to a separate disk.

Klevv CRAS C925 SSD – Review

Klevv is an odd name with the double V at the end, and it’s a bit of a strange brand as well. In reality, it’s just part of the SK Group — a group which includes SK hynix — with a focus on retail drives. Klevv is known for its “strictly-selected 3D NAND flash,” which some observers might take to mean it’s a variable-hardware SSD in disguise. In reality, Klevv not only states that the C925 is using TLC flash but strictly-selected in this case means SK hynix flash. This is unique in that such flash is not commonly found in other NVMe SSDs and, when it is, it’s usually an older generation of flash. Klevv has access to more or less contemporary flash and this helps the brand stand out a bit.

As for the controller, Klevv isn’t using an in-house drive like many of SK hynix’s most popular drives, such as the Gold P31 and Platinum P41. Most recently, Klevv has been moving towards Maxiotech and the C925 is using the MAP1602 controller. This controller is well-known in storage circles as a popular high-end DRAM-less solution. That means it does technically lean budget, but it’s almost always found with Chinese YMTC flash. When we reviewed the C930 — a drive with the InnoGrit IG5236 controller, which is normally paired with Micron flash.

This drive is rare in that its street pricing is reasonable right out of the gate, at least for the 1TB model. Too often drives have an unreasonably high MSRP and then even the street prices are too high for what the drive delivers. The C925 knows what it is and is priced appropriately.

The C925 can reach up to 7,400 / 6,500 MB/s for sequential reads and writes and up to 700K / 1000K random read and write IOPS. This is pretty standard for a PCIe 4.0 SSD of this class. Where the drive isn’t standard is with the rated write endurance — the five-year warranty includes coverage of writes up to 1,200TB per TB capacity. This is double the normal value, but we emphasize that TBW is usually not that meaningful. Still, if it’s something you look at then the C925 is high for its range.

Netskope, a leader in cloud security

Netskope is a comprehensive Cloud Security platform designed to help organizations protect their data and users across cloud services, web traffic, and private applications. Built on a cloud-native architecture, Netskope offers visibility into cloud activity, real-time threat protection, and granular data governance.

Founded in 2012, Netskope has rapidly grown into one of the top providers of Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), with its security platform trusted by enterprises worldwide. The company’s primary goal is to provide businesses with an easy-to-use solution to manage security as they adopt cloud technologies and remote work.

The growing shift to cloud applications and services has fundamentally changed how businesses operate. This new reality, often referred to as the cloud-first era, creates a host of challenges for traditional security systems. Firewalls and VPNs, which were designed for on-premise networks, are ill-equipped to handle the complexities of cloud environments.

Organizations face multiple risks, including:

  • Shadow IT: Employees using unapproved cloud services, potentially exposing sensitive data.
  • Data breaches: Sensitive data being improperly accessed, shared, or leaked.
  • Threats and attacks: Cloud services can become targets for malware, phishing, and ransomware.

The need for robust cloud security solutions like Netskope has never been greater.
