External Hard Drive For Macbook Pro 2020

[20 W] Using the Hub with a new (2020) MacBook Pro. The Hub enabled me to connect a SATA drive toaster to pull files from old Windows PC internal HDDs. It supports 2 8TB backup external drives (WD Elements), and up to 3 portable 1TB and 2TB external drives for travel, as well as Digital Audio Technology stereo speakers (~10 years old), with no slow downs or other problems. Moving on to pass through camera and microphones.

[3.3' / 1 m] The xcellon hub has been my answer to getting more USB ports from my macbook. I can now attach my external hard drive, wacom tablet, and charge my phone with my macbook. I really like that it has an independent power supply for things like my external hard drives. And it's small and fits inside my laptop bag.

[Cable] I finally can connect my older LaCie external hard drive to my new MacBook. I haven't seen these pictures and documents since 2014. Tether cord worked beautifully with no problems. Instant connection.

[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.

[ M.2 SSD ] I purchased this external drive to compliment my new MacBook Pro M2 Max and no regrets at all. This drive is excellent, runs smoothly, boots up fast, runs fast with Thunderbolt. and is quiet as well can be for an SSD drive with minimal heat.

[5.7 x 3.9 x 1"] I am having a love hate relationship with the MacBook Pro M1 I have more than one external hard drives for Lightroom to be portable. The M1 has 2 C ports. One for the power plug, leaving one for memory card, external hard drive and monitor. This Pro Hub adapter works like a charm!

[3.3 VDC] Fast external hard drive. Works well.

[6 TB] This is my third external hard drive, work great.

[Aluminum] Amazing portable hard drive. Super fast. I use it on MacBook Pro retina. The speeds are great. Transfers large files (7gb+) and it's great. I know from friends Glyph has amazing customer service too so that's great to know.
