It can  also  cause  the  conditioned mount point to advertise itself as a different device type, e.g. the disk type of an SSD could be set to an HDD. This behavior consequently changes various parameters such as read-ahead settings, disk I\/O throttling, etc., which normally have different behavior depending on  the underlying device type.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2021\/11\/16\/monterey-network-quality-tool\/\">Monterey Network Quality Tool<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/07\/protecting-your-network-from-photos-uploads\/\">Protecting Your Network From Photos Uploads<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Hosey: TIL about Disk Mount Conditioner, a macOS feature like the Network Link Conditioner but for file I\/O.
