Review on πŸ’Ύ Enhance MacBook Pro Retina 13" Storage with BASEQI Aluminum microSD Adapter by Todd Roybal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bought this and doubled my Macbook's hard drive space - BUY IT!

Okay this thing is phenomenal and perfect - exactly what I've been dreaming of has been since 2013 when I bought this Macbook Pro 13 inch. I used a SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.0 drive for additional storage. as the 256GB MBP SSD filled up too quickly (I run Windows in a virtual machine). It generally worked except sticking out of the MBP case and sometimes pulling out. I was nervous about it the whole time - afraid it might get stuck somewhere and I'd lose files or worse, damage the USB port (I move my laptop a lot!). Then I saw an $88 256GB Micro SD and thought if there was an adapter that could be flush mounted to the side that would solve my problems in a way SanDisk never did I think , most of them are people who ordered NOTE. Each Macbook requires a different model depending on its size (13" / 15" etc.) and model (Retina / Non-Retina etc.). So do your research and check the QA - but after finding the right one for my MBP I have to say I'm a total fan! A NOTICE. Following another user's recommendation, I immediately installed the MOUNTain app ($5.99) to keep it mounted through my Macbook. go to sleep (a problem I had before with a flash drive was that it would unmount, but after MOUNTain I don't do that anymore).

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Minor issues
