Apple Macbook Pro Solid State Drive Service Program

[Integrated] This is my first MACBook. It is expensive and can not be upgraded after purchase - two big bummers. But it works flawlessly and has all the speed I was hoping for. I use it to create giant panoramas in Photoshop, starting with as many as 15 exposures. What took as much as 15 minutes to process now takes a few seconds. I have a lot of PSB files, gigantic. They save in less than a minute rather than 20. At home, I operate it clam shell style. I had no problem hooking the MACBook up to larger, calibrated screens, though I had to buy a boatload of converters. One way I could have saved money would have been to have purchased a much smaller solid state drive; maybe one TB. No solid state drive is big enough to hold all my photos. So, purchasing a conventional, inexpensive peripheral drive was necessary anyway. A harddrive that is configured for both PCs and MACS turned out to be the best way to go; though now I have about 3TB of unused solid state drive on the MACBook, a waste of money.

[360°] This device makes a solid state drive (SSD) compatible for a Mac Pro. The hard drive slides that come with the computer only mount 3.5 inch drives. This enables you to take advantage of the new SSD's fast speed and reliability. It comes with four mounting screws so that you can mount your SSD (sold separately).

[Full-Stop] I purchased this to make an external boot drive for my 2015 MacBook Pro. This device is probably the fastest way to add external storage to my machine since the Thunderbolt 2 ports are far faster than the USB3 ports. Since this Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 enclosure is self-powered, you can use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter in reverse, making full use of the MacBook's Thunderbolt 2 port and getting super fast transfer speeds, making it suitable for use as a boot drive. I don't have any benchmark utilities, but I copied a large VMware image from the internal Apple SSD to an external 2TB FireCuda 530 and saw an Activity Monitor peak write speed of 1.6GB/sec, which is super fast. The case gets a little warm, but that means that it is effectively sinking heat from the M2 drive. I used this to successfully build and test a system upgrade to Mojave, and will continue to use this to occasionally run modern OS versions that I don't want to permanently upgrade to due to software compatibility issues with old apps I still need to run. Right now, it's Velcro'ed to the laptop lid and holds a 1TB drive waiting to test Catalina, so I can see which apps break before deciding if I want to take the plunge. All in all, it's perfect as an external drive for my older MacBook Pro, it's well priced, and extremely well constructed. I'll continue to use it for the rest of the life of this machine, and it'll still be useful if I upgrade to a more modern machine later.

[USB-C Male] At first I bought a cheaper drive that started with R because disk players have been around for a long time and I didn’t see a reason to pay more just for a fancy housing that match my Mac. However….the no name brand would always stall without ripping any songs to Apple Music. I tried it on 3 different Macs. A Mac Studio M1, MacBook Pro M2 and an older MacBook Pro with an Intel chip in it. Nope wouldn’t work on any of them. So I tried it on a Windows machine with iTunes installed and it worked with no issues. Thinking it was a bug in the Apple software I called Apple and got them involved. I spend weeks with them and sent many data files to their engineers and I still haven’t received a solution from Apple. So I found this Apple SuperDrive at B&H and figured I’d give it a try, well guess what? It works perfectly with any hiccups. I’m not sure if Apple is still making this drive so if you can still get one do it soon.

[3-Year ] I always get AppleCare for my Apple laptop computers. Just one service need pays for it. Got this one for my new Apple MacBook Pro at B&H.

[2.5"] I used this drive to clone a laptop hard drive to a solid state drive. Worked well.

[Pushbutton] This works perfectly with my old Apple HD Display and my new MacBook Pro.

[260 MB/s] VERY CAREFUL WITH THE HITS WHEN YOU ARE WORKING, IT IS NOT A SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE

[Aluminum] This mounting kit worked well when converting my iMac from a hard drive to a solid state drive.

[Aluminum] Awesome portable drive! Work’s great with my new MacBook Pro!
