Some do, it tends to be Max rather than Ultra. Most don’t. I’d get it swapped.

You can use Macs Fan Control (free version would do) and set fan speed to 1100 (instead of 1300). Kills all noises.

Nice idea, forgot about that app. Certainly does kill fan noise, but whining is still there.
Back it goes
Yeah, it's not fan noise. When I got mine, I had it mounted on the desk and I could just about hear the fans, even at the default speed. I did slow them down to test but even the sound I could hear didn't bother me. I've now moved it to an under desk mount and to all intents and purposes, it's utterly silent.
Some people who are getting this whistling that's around 2.4kHz are solving it by putting some tape over some of the holes on the back which suggests it's airflow, rather than actual coil whine.
But that's not a solution really, yes, I'd return it.

Part of me want to wait for the M2, the plan is always to get one when next year's weddings kicks off again. If I get it now, it feels like the next 5 months would be a bit of a waste.

What you mean is, you're waiting for the last part of my deposit?
I have an LG Blu Ray external drive. It's in the loft though, I can download films faster than it takes me to rip, and someone else has done the hard work for you of remuxing the best audio track onto it.
Ah, thank you. It has been a while since I've done something like that. Plus, some of the films and music I want are pretty rare.

Figured I’d use this thread instead of creating new one, anyone have any recommendations for a decent webcam which has software compatiable with the M1 chips?
Reading reviews of various webcams and people are commenting on buggy or no software support for them. Would be great if someone could recommend one who acutally owns a decent quality one. Currently have a 720p one which is showing its age

I got a Logitech C920 years ago. Works perfectly for Zoom / Microsoft Teams and streaming on Twitch with OBS Studio.Figured I’d use this thread instead of creating new one, anyone have any recommendations for a decent webcam which has software compatiable with the M1 chips?

I use a Logitech Brio 4k thing, works perfectly and very good IQ.Figured I’d use this thread instead of creating new one, anyone have any recommendations for a decent webcam which has software compatiable with the M1 chips?

I've got a 1TB Sabrent drive, works perfectly.
Another option is to buy an M2 enclosure and then buy your own M2 drive. That's what I do for all my external SSDs. They'll be about £25 if you want 10Gbps USB but if you want thunderbolt they'll be £100 or more.
I did that recently.
As you can see, I returned them. Performance was utterly awful. Carbon Copy Cloner was estimating 27 hours for the initial backup. I tried different ports and cables on my Studio.
