Review on 💾 256GB JetDrive Lite 130 Expansion Card for 13-Inch MacBook Air - Transcend TS256GJDL130 (Black) by Craig Galante

I bought "Transcend JetDrive Lite 130 128GB Storage" after searching for 128GB Flash drives stumbled across it. Wow what an amazing find! The Transcend JetDrive Lite 130 is an affordable way to expand your storage and a great concept. I just bought a new 2014 MacBook Air with a 120GB internal hard drive, thinking it would fill my laptop storage needs. However, after downloading all of my digital photos onto my new computer, I soon found that my hard drive was running out of space. I tried inserting the SD card into the side of my MacBook Air, but it stuck out too far. I also tried a mini flash drive, which also stuck out more than I wanted. Also, I don't think they make mini USB sticks larger than 64GB and if they do I couldn't find them. The Transcend JetDrive Lite 130 128GB of storage was the perfect solution and also the cheapest option per gigabyte. The JetDrive has allowed me to double the storage space and it sits completely flush without snagging on anything and breaking. The JetDrive's read and write access times are pretty good at 95 MB per second reading and 60 MB. per second recording. These read and write speeds are actually fast enough to run virtual machines directly from Transcend JetDrive. I have a 32GB Windows 7 VM and a 16GB Linux VM running directly from JetDrive. If I stored these two VMs on their native internal disk, it would take up 40% of the 120GB internal disk, which I couldn't do without deleting all my digital photos. Hosting my VMs on JetDrive was a great option. You can also use the Mac operating system to encrypt data on the JetDrive in the same way as on an internal drive. Thanks to its "Embedded Error Correction Code (ECC)", the JetDrive is more reliable and advanced than a conventional SD card or USB stick. Transcend JetDrive mounts and dismounts automatically when you turn your MacBook on or off. I have used Transcend storage products in the past and have always been satisfied with their value and quality. For those looking to add another 128GB to their MacBook, Transcend's JetDrive products are an incredible bargain. If you think my review was helpful, please click the Yes button below.
