Disc access extremely slow on mac mini m2 pro

[michaelu89506689]

Saving files, using 2nd party filters, opening files from Bridge.  All of these actions, and more, work extremely slow on a brand new mac mini m2 pro chipped machine.  I am running the newest versions of Photoshop and have updated my mac IOS to the very latest version.  I do save all my work to external hard drives and these are connected to thunderbolt 4 ports.  

I have tried all the troubleshooting steps online, this forum, etc.  All persmissions, driver updates, computer will not shut down hard drives, etc. have been made.  I'm at a loss at what to try next.  At this point I do a save, or save as, and it takes up to 2 minutes to do so.  Running filters sometimes stalls for a minute or two to start up or complete an action.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

Hi @michaelu89506689 sorry you are having this issue.

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

Thank you,

Cory

Hi @michaelu89506689 what filters specifically are you running? Are they M1 compatible or do you have to run in Rosetta mode (which definintely slows everything down)?

Second on your external HD - are they properly formatted to AFPS Journaled? If they are EXFat (Windows) Ventura will be slower read/writing to them.

I am running Topaz and DxO filters, all are M1 compatible.  None of these filters are running in Rosetta.  Disc format is AFPS on all external discs.  

Thanks
