Fast & Reliable Transcend 512GB Thunderbolt 💨 Solid State Drive StoreJet 500 for MAC (TS512GSJM500) Review

DO NOT BUY. I WILL EXPLODE AND LOSE POSSIBLY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WITH POSSIBLY 1,000 SAMPLES. I BELIEVE I MADE YOU IN SUPPORT, but that may not have been the case as the HDD was used less than 50 hours. And he's already dead. Doesn't read or recognize music on a laptop that doesn't use the internet. Or another processor. Silly me. I spent $637 and I'm far, far, far from rich. I had to buy an Xbox One on a 6 board. And it was hard. Yes, some people don't have an Xbox, I understand. I don't shop…

I have read some other customers' reviews on this product. The only downside is that the description doesn't mention that it comes with two cables, one for USB-3 and one for Thunderbolt. This resulted in unnecessary spending on a cable I didn't need. There were mentions of heat from the unit which I didn't see as a long term issue. It may get warm during use or when an application or other system services are reading/writing. I use it to store Logic Pro X project files and actively edit files…

I recently bought a Mac Mini to replace my aging MacBook Pro and bought this external drive to supplement the Mini's limited SSD storage. I already had a 256GB internal SSD drive that I plugged into a USB 3 enclosure for photo storage, but figured the Thunderbolt drive would be faster than the USB 3 drive I put together. I was right and wrong at the same time. The drive looks pretty good, feels solid when held in my hand, and was already formatted in OS X. I connected it with the included…

I'm another old iMac user (2011) who needs a faster boot drive. Replacing the internal hard drive with an SSD is too much of a hassle for me (after all, Apple considers it "not user replaceable"), so I looked for a Thunderbolt hard drive instead. I bought the 1TB model to match the size of the internal hard drive. This Transcend device is the only Thunderbolt 2 SSD left on the US market. It also has a USB 3.0 5Gb/s port, so it will still come in handy in the future if the iMac ever fails. As…

I knew my mid-2011 iMac, a machine that had largely been replaced in my workflow by much newer hardware, was still alive. The bottleneck was the aging mechanical hard drive, which simply couldn't handle the stringent requirements of full disk-level encryption of FileVault 2 or any of the more recent versions of macOS, although the RAM and CPU still could. The solution was to replace it with an SSD, but I didn't want to hack the hardware for that. Enter this external Thunderbolt Transcend drive.
