I have a 2022 Mac Studio and run the most recent version of macOS Monterey, and SD3 is wonderful. It’s been a few months since Ventura was released and I always wait a while before updating and I wonder if anyone else is successfully running SD3 with Ventura at this point? Any issues? Thanks!

I have been running Ventura on a Mac Studio with SD3 with no problems.
FWIW, I have 2 external NVme Thunderbolt SSDs to boot from. I always update on one of those to test before applying it to the internal system drive. These days an external SSD is fairly inexpensive and having a test system can be a real life saver.

So you can boot from an external drive with a M1 Mac then? Anything to look out for?

Yes, I have one external SSD (SATA) and one external NVme (M.2) with Monterey and Ventura installed respectively. The SATA unit is a leftover from the previous iMac host, but it works ok for testing. The other NVme drives are used for samples.
I’ve only ever used the thunderbolt ports, haven’t tried running off the USB-C ports on the front and I don’t believe you can boot off USB-2.
