unfortunately does not work with IMAC on thuderbolt 2

Good product at a good price. However, I intend to connect an old IMAC 24 (2009) using the Thunderbolt2 to 3 adapter made by Apple. didn't work, works fine using USB 2.0. However, this SSD will not read when connected to Thunderbolt 2.

Pros
  • good item
Cons
  • very expensive

super memory offer

is a super durable and fast hard drive. It is great for photography, it is very durable, lightweight and easy to carry. very compact and also beautiful. I haven't had any issues accessing the drive, so it seems reliable so far. No idea why one of the items to rate is "warmth" but it doesn't seem to get too hot so I guess that's a plus? kinda strange to rate. I like it. I also had a voucher so it was very valuable but I liked it so much I will be buying another one for backups.

Pros
  • understandable for the old
Cons
  • long delivery

Good/small SSD around

I've only had it for about a week but so far it works fine and seems to be of good quality. I moved about 700 gigabytes of data onto the drive and it ran for about 8 hours (my old laptop was the bottleneck) without overheating. It got warm, but not enough to worry. I travel a lot for work, so this compact and lightweight drive helps lighten my carry-on. Also works great with my iPad Pro 2019. I would recommend this drive to anyone on the market as an external SSD.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Useless features

Fantastic, No: Data storage

I'm someone who really pays attention to detail and if I say that it's because on the product page here at Amazon the manufacturer's read/write performance doesn't really shows. They claim to have a write speed of 900MB, which is not true. That's the main reason why I don't give 5 stars. I currently have USB-C 3.2 onboard on my x570 motherboard with a Ryzen 7 3800x processor and two high-speed M.2 SSDs. Disk Gen 4. The maximum write speed was 550 MB/s. nothing more. from my ssd m.2. Disc. Andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Works with the 2020 iPad Pro, unlike some USB-C drives.

This is a Caldigit Tuff Nano review of a brand new 16-inch MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3 40Gbps 100W, 17-inch -OWC cable connected directly to the MBP's T3 port and tested to a write speed of 700MB/s. and 904MB/s reading using the Blackmagic Design Disk Speed Test. So be careful every time you see a speed that says "up to". However, for the money it's fast and small and I'll probably buy another one for field work. The small size fits my kit size well, small and fast is win-win. Go ahead andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Older model

As fast as my internal Mac hard drive *Mad Scientist laughs*

So I tried it on my Windows machine first and wasn't impressed with the speed at first. After testing various other drives and flash drives, I've found them to be just as good as the best. So the limitation is my laptop hardware. But then I connected it to my Mac and the speed was no slower than my internal hard drive. I backed up a gigantic multi-gigabyte virtual machine almost immediately. I almost feel guilty that my internal hard drive is lagging behind where I now prefer to store files. If

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Legacy model
