Review on πŸ’₯ Transcend 960GB JetDrive 855 Thunderbolt Nvme PCIe Portable SSD: Superior Power and Lightning-Fast Speeds by Jacob Jefferson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good solution for Macbook with small memory

Delivery requires signature which is great for this expensive SSD. I replaced it on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2014). It's easy to install in half an hour. However, the instructions for backing up and restoring data are not clear, which only refers to the Apple support site. I ended up using a "time machine" on another external hard drive to back up and restore my data, which took a full day. Everything works very well with two small problems.1. In the beginning, every time I click on the Finder, the cursor changes into a rainbow circle for about 10 seconds. But this problem disappeared in one day.2. I need to change my cloud drive path (google drive and dropbox drive). To improve performance, read and write speeds have been greatly improved. The temperature of my computer is still bearable. I would recommend anyone suffering from Macbook "out of memory" to replace this SSD. In addition, the customer service is immediate and pleasant.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • unreliable
