I’m posting this in an effort to provide information that may be helpful to someone else. non-destructive editing tools for groove creation, dialog replacement, Foley, and more. I suspect that it may now successfully boot up since the system install was completed. AVID Pro Tools HDX Core with Pro Tools HD Software.
And I don’t know what the result will be if I were to now connect the OWC Envoy Pro FX through the Thunderbolt 4 Dock. I’m not saying the OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock was the reason for the problem I had, and I’m not saying it wasn’t. The Fedora Media Writer can be installed on any operating system, including Windows and Mac. The external drive had a Carbon Copy Cloner created Data volume already on it and I installed macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 from the installer downloaded from the App Store and located in my Applications Folder. The Startup Disk Creator will not erase data on your USB. I reconfigured, connecting the OWC Envoy Pro FX directly to the M1 Mac Mini Thunderbolt port. I never achieved a full installation of macOS 11.2.3 as the computer never booted from the external SSD to complete the installation. It touts the same compatibility as if connected directly to the M1 Mac Mini. My first several efforts at booting my M1 Mac Mini from a Thunderbolt connected SSD were made with the OWC Envoy Pro FX SSD connected to an OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock.
