    Transcend 128GB JetDrive Lite 130 Storage Expansion Card for 13-Inch MacBook Air (TS128GJDL130)

    • No quick writhing speeds.
    • The note in description of "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
    • Good speed, feet perfectly.
    • Its AMAZING, kinda slow writing speeds, but great reading
    • This is more reliable and probably faster speeds
    • SUPER fast write speeds Just make sure you format it for mac.
    • I do not play video games on Windows, so the speed of the card is great for what I need it for.
    • Surprisingly excellent speed both reads and writes.
    • So as a secondary card, I really like the speeds as I reported
    • Although I think the writing speed is kind of slower than it claims, it is still a excellent product.
    • Top quality and speed
    • Fantastic speed!
    • it encrypted sparse bundle and you are safe with a strong password!Efficient, with a good speed for reading or writing
    • 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).
    • Very good speed
    • For streaming video or music, its more than enough speed, faster than USB2, probably as quick as USB3 with a spinner
    • Perfect solution to storage problem--fits flush, high speed, great price.
    • the speed of this drive is really limited by the SD card port
    • Speed is good enough, and not hanging out of MacBook air is the best...
    • Speed is good enough, and not hanging out of MacBook air is the best...
    • It duplicate my capacity on MBA Mid 2013, great speed
    • Just wish the read and write speeds were faster but meh what did I expect.
    • Video games run fine and bootcamp runs fine, similar speeds as a 5400 rpm HD if I had to guess
    • 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.
    • Not the fastest speed, but nice that you can take it out and insert it into another computer's sd card slot and directly copy files.
    • Speed ​​and performance are fine
    • I want to use it to run vmware, needs lithe more speed, but works
    • 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.
