G-Speed Shuttle XL and M1 MBP running MacOS Ventura

I would try first deleting all the drivers and software related to the G-Studio.
Next, boot up in recovery mode and change the security settings.
To change the level of security on your startup disk:

  1. Shut down the Mac.
  2. Press and hold the power button until you see “Loading startup options”
  3. Click Options.
  4. Click Continue. …
  5. In the menu bar at the top, Select Utilities > Startup Security Utility.
  6. Select the startup disk. …
  7. Click Security Policy.
  8. Select Reduced Security.

I also have a G-Studio 12 Tb and here is a link to instructions that worked for me…

If it works, let me know. If you had to alter any steps in the instructions, I’ll update the document. I am betting that LOTS of people are having problems with this.
