- I still have the photos on my iPhone and can back up again, this time to a USB hard drive

As a warning, if you've already filled up your hard drive with applications and are looking to install MORE applications on this jetdrive, just know that it may not work depending on the application

I keep all my itunes music and media files on the jetdrive to keep the hard drive free for the important email forwards my parents keep sending.

I quickly decided I could not trust this drive with my valuable photos

I had the 64Gb hard drive so this tripled my storage space

nah returned, I will just stick to my ultra quick portable solid state drive!

Its not an issue of the inconvenience - the real problem is ejecting a drive like this constantly is bad for the drive's integrity

Additional storage without replacing the hard drive

I would highly recommend this for MacBook Air users or anyone who's looking to add on storage without attaching an ugly external hard drive.

10GB ~5-10mins) however that is a small price to pay for doubling my hard drive space

Like having an added hard drive on your MacBook, and you hardly notice it’s stuck in the side of your machine.

awesome, awesome drive, very happy

You can also use the Mac operating system to encrypt the data on the JetDrive just like you would the internal drive

Not quite as fast as USB 3.0 drives but not nearly as slow as USB 2.0

This doubles my entire hard drive

However, the speed for file transferring is way to slow comparing to solid hard drive

Bought this for my wife as her mac book air was running out of hard-drive space

My roommate had rescued/removed the hard drive, when the iMac died a very painful death

I can switch to the latest programs anytime after a restart, which just takes a minute with these solid-state drives

(I had to use an external drive to get files from my MacBook Pro, because this SD card would not work in the Pro or any card reader I tried

I was always struggling with a full SSD, but with this SD Card drive I can move files over and free up space on the solid state drive

Doesn't work (wasn't able to use it as a drive, rejects anything dropped in it) with horrible customer service (only capable of slow, useless email correspondence).

I immediately started transferring files from my old iMac (it had been built at the end of the stone age) hard drive

Sits flush on a MacBook Air for a hard drive extension

From my experience, I never needed much storage space since I store most of the heavy files on my external (pictures, videos, etc).I was expecting to store ~40GB of music on the hard drive but the space quickly ran out since certain applications MUST be installed on the hard drive rather than an external

Good Macbook Air backup drive

Though slower than a vintage 1995 hard drive, the JetDrive for me is just a means to backup my system volume and data; it's better than nothing.

I used this with my Macbook Air 2015 to expand the storage since I did not want to up-front the money for a larger hard drive.

Drive didn't work

and I don't have to worry about taking it out/in all the time like an external hard drive.

Our MacBook Air was living on OS X Lion 10.7 for years and we did not upgrade due to limited hard drive space

Sure a hard drive might give you more storage and it might seem like a "better deal," but knowing that this is so compact and you won't even notice that it is even there is what lured me to buy it

I attempted (multiple times) to erase/reformat the drive, but it would not work at all

The old hard drive wouldn't stay connected long enough to transfer it all or in large chunks

and my hard drive has about 100GB empty.as far as design, it sits flush. barely noticeable

This is a great expansion for my 128GB Macbook Air hard drive

Clicking the icon on the screen for storing and accessing files is as easy as clicking the laptop's own hard drive

I transferred files from the flakey old hard drive in smallish chunks

Want to upgrade your MacBook Air hard drive space but don't want the fuss of opening up the unit

I keep my music and photos on my new "2nd" hard drive.

I previously used a nifty mini-drive, which I found to have poor quality control (mine stuck out of my air vs. the "flush" fit nifty advertises among other things

Within the first two months, the drive has failed and is corrupted beyond repair

Perfect for the job and a fraction of the price of a new hard drive

I have a larger external hard drive for backing up the entire laptop.

i got it just because i wanted something that i can put file on it and not fill up my hard drive

Not as fast as SSD drive but is a good place to store my movies and photos.

Too bad the apps are not suggested to be installed on another hard drive, but I am using the JetDrive to store all the downloads data, and the main drive to install stuff

Then I copied all my video and audio to the Transcend drive and deleted those files off my Mac hard drive

This drive is a life savior for anyone with a MacBook Air seeking a solution to the always-near-full solid state drive

Great way to extend the storage on your machine, especially if you got a Mac with a small hard drive!

Originally rated this 1 star as it drains your battery losing ~30% battery life but the drive is pretty fast when formatted

Non essential files are kept here, ensuring I have enough space on my hard drive to keep my MacBook running fast

For $30, I have plenty of room on my hard drive and plenty of space left for a few more OS on the JetDrive.

I use it to store my music and movies - it saved a bunch of space on my hard drive!

Extremely slow compared to other external hard drives

Like having an added hard drive on your MacBook, and you hardly notice it’s stuck in the side of your machine.

At first, it was strange because I assumed the Transcend drive would be seen like my normal hard drive, but if you are waking from sleep there is a slight delay before the drive appears on the desktop.

Great drive when you're running low on space

Don't forget it is still an external hard drive, so don't expect the same speed in write and read data on it as your inner memory

Its not an issue of the inconvenience - the real problem is ejecting a drive like this constantly is bad for the drive's integrity

It works quickly and acts and appears as an internal hard drive in virtually all respects.

Have not used it but about a week but from what I see it is the answer to my hard drive needs

from your hard drive onto the JetDrive and vice versa.

This little drive is perfect for my Macbook Air

I keep all my itunes music and media files on the jetdrive to keep the hard drive free for the important email forwards my parents keep sending.

Love the extra storage, I originally bought this drive when I only had a 128gb drive in my macbook air, but I then upgraded to a 512gb hdd and still use it

This drive makes it super easy to take a lot of storage on the go with you

The drive works great - I store my itunes library on it (which I've got backed up)

It really is just a secondary hard drive

That hard drive is very flakey and rarely maintains the connection for any length of time

Since I formatted the Transcend for Mac OS Extended, Time Machine automatically backed up my Transcend drive along with my Mac hard drive

Doesn't replace a hard drive, but compliments the internal drive nicely

Doesn't replace a hard drive, but compliments the internal drive nicely

It's a way better choice versus purchasing a new hard drive.

This gives problems, when I placed my dropbox folder on the Jetdrive - since it does not always show up when I start my MacBook, it creates a new dropbox folder on my hard drive

But that's not the end of the world either -- I'm using it mainly to store a number of large files that have been hogging up my main hard drive, and it's great for that.

The drive works great!

Great option for semipermanent storage if you don't want to carry around an external hard drive

This product is great for someone who does not want to carry a heavy external hard drive everywhere you go

why they make it sound like it's a solid state drive

Installed in seconds but have to manually move my files as they don't automatically flow over from the default hard drive.

I don't see anything wrong about the power consumption while it is plug-in and this drive seems to work perfectly whenever you turn off/on/sleep the laptop

It's a very practical memory for my MacBook air, it works as an external drive where I put my iTunes library and some videos

But the drive is fast enough.

It seems that the problem with loosing the jet drive when computer goes to sleep have been resolved

This little drive is awesome

However after uploading all of my digital photos to my new computer, I soon realized that I didn’t have much storage left on my hard drive

I just bought a new 2014 MacBook Air with a 120GB internal hard drive thinking that this would fulfill my laptop storage needs

Doesn't replace a hard drive, but compliments the internal drive nicely

So you still need an external hard drive for a secure backup.

I for one like to take my Macbook Air to the library, to school, and other random places, so it was not very convenient for me to bring a hard drive

If I were to store both of these virtual machines on the native internal hard drive it would need to take 40% of the 120GB internal hard drive which I would not be able to do without removing all of my digital photos

Adding the Transcend 128 GB JetDrive isn't as good as having a 256 GB internal solid state drive, but it is a good and relatively cheap way to keep your small internal solid state drive from hitting its storage limit.

I would highly recommend this drive for anyone that needs some space on their macbook

This is an answer if you want an external hard drive that is not an external hard drive

great product, at first i was hesitant to buy this product, i am thinking of buying another spare of seagate backup plus 1TB external hard drive but i am tired of carrying bulk external drive, upon seeing some users review i bought

Tried with Bootcamp and WMware Fusion 8.0I now use the Jetdrive as an extra hard drive, instead of what I had intended

My AIR has a pitifully small hard drive (or SSD, to be more accurate)

This product is advertised as doubling your hard drive space.

Excellent i liked it ...

amazing I like it
