Reviews around solution (4.65 of 5)

  • This is the perfect solution for having "permanent" yet flexible, affordable storage in a MacBook
  • I'm familiar with the max transfer rates for USB 2.0 (about 30-40MBs) but unfortunately my write speed is hovering around a MUCH slower 8MB/s.
  • This is very inconvenient since I can't use the SD card to store frequently accessed documents/data unless I remember to disable sleep and hibernate the Macbook by default, which is a clumsy solution
  • Very good solution for extending the MacBook Air storage with an SSD
  • Perfect solution to storage problem--fits flush, high speed, great price.

Reviews around thing (4.07 of 5)

  • got it on time and its working very well, the only thing bothers that i have chosen it for Mac pro and mine is mac air, its my mistake anyway
  • This thing has expanded my capabilities far beyond what I thought I could do on an Air
  • The bad thing is that when performed the speed test for write and read I only get 9mbs and 20mbs
  • But then again, to always have it mounted might be a good thing.
  • Not a nerd, but the thing felt a bit slow at first, but then I figured, I had to format it cause it comes default in FAT

Reviews around speed (3.63 of 5)

  • Well the fine print says that "*Late 2010, Mid 2011, and Mid 2012 MacBook Air models have reduced performance due to the card reader only supporting up to USB 2.0 transfer speeds."That is the largest understatement I've ever seen.
  • the speed of this drive is really limited by the SD card port
  • Although I think the writing speed is kind of slower than it claims, it is still a excellent product.
  • Speed is good enough, and not hanging out of MacBook air is the best...
  • Looking at the specs the write speed is slower than a 5400 rpm HD but for anyone wanting to run programs off of the drive, it should be fine as long as you format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Reviews around card (3.54 of 5)

  • I was lucky that the issues popped up within a few days of ordering the card
  • and I'm afraid it will eventually damage the card because it is designed to be flush with the side of the Macbook and does not come out very easily.
  • The card sits tight in the SD slot so it would fall out or anything like that
  • Apart from that, the card works very well just like any other SD card and fits my MacBook Air neatly
  • Perfect SD card to add 256GB of space to my MacBook Air

Reviews around library (2.82 of 5)

  • It's OK, speed is not so fantastic as for internal SSD but good enough for not so critical
  • Work as it describe, plug in and work straight out from the box
  • Unfortunately it does have limitations as to what can be stored on it
  • However, I'm constantly getting "disk not ejected properly" warnings to the point that the card is worthless to me (even if I didn't mind the warnings I'm not going to risk corrupting my photo library.!)
  • Since the Photos and iPhotos apps store all your files in one package, your entire library can conveniently get corrupted all at once

  • Pricey, but does what it says, and I had no problem auto mounting and un-mounting, so no problems there, no messages going into and out of sleep mode (with OSX El Capitan).
  • Just make sure to install the JetDrive Toolbox to prevent the improper removal message every time the computer goes to sleep.
  • I don't have to worry about connecting to my external drive as I've got this little item ready and waiting, as well as to hold extra media such as music or videos.

  • I keep files on this drive that are more important than the stuff I keep in the cloud "just in case", but less critical than the operating system level stuff on the SSD
  • Windows cannot view HFS+, OS X had issues with NTFS so this is a great file format for both operating systems
  • My only complaint is it just overwrites files, so previous copies are not available unless you save them under a different file name.
  • The only issue I had was that it came preformatted as extfat, which is the best file system.
