Great ride, worth the money!

Installing an FD drive for my new Time Machine on my Mid 2020 Thunderbolt 3 iMac. Just plug in and get started. Quickly! Had to use it to recover my iMac after a memory failure required a full hard drive wipe and reinstall of Big Sur. Fetching my 400GB apps and data was fast! Less than 20 minutes. We'll take another one to expand. My iMac only has a 500GB SSD.

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

small, reliable, fast

I needed an external drive for my Mac Mini (which only came with 256 gigabytes, it was an emergency purchase). It feels like an internal drive. I've had stability issues with other external SSD drives. This works great even when working with heavier materials with end cuts where even very small projects require hundreds of gigabytes. I only use it during the day (including video editing at night) but having a stable hard drive is a relief.

Pros
  • looks good

Very Fast TB3 Enclosure

If you need a fast TB3 speed M.2 external drive. buy you will not regret it. Using this drive on the Razer Advanced 2019 and an external drive is just as fast as using a standard internal NVME drive in a laptop. Yes it is expensive but in this case you get what you pay for. I wanted to keep an internal NVME drive and need an external drive so I can put all my Steam and Occulus games on the external drive along with photos and videos. There's no need to clutter up the internal drive with those…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Big Price

Dependable drive with luxurious packaging and workmanship

This drive exceeds the manufacturer's claims for sequential read and write speeds right out of the box. It was a pleasant surprise! It's literally a solid piece of Black Metal. Very high quality fit and finish with very high quality finish. It's about the size of a deck of cards, but feels heavy and solid in your hand. Mine stays in place, tucked away at the base of my iMac Pro. Using this drive as the primary cache/storage for the iMac Pro Accessory Station in post production. It runs 24/7 at…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Available in black only

Great disc for photo editing!

I use this drive as primary storage for RAW photo files to improve accessibility and speed when working with photo editing software like Luminar or Aurora HDR. Before I bought this Fantom FD Extreme drive, I used a Seagate USB 3 external drive, so opening images and switching from one saved template to another to compare the "looks" of photos 25-30 seconds lasted. The latency was so limited that I got into the habit of just moving the one file I was working on to my internal Mac SSD to speed up

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Useless Features

Bootable—as fast as a Mac Mini OEM internal SSD—and a more secure way to store personal information.

I bought this because I didn't like the idea of storing my personal data on the internal drive of my Mac Mini as this SSD is an integral part of the motherboard. If you have to send your computer in for repair, everything on the internal drive most likely becomes the property of the person who repaired it. So I don't want to store this information on this drive. The same goes for any MacBook. I set it up as a boot drive and it works just like the internal SSD. In fact, this drive has the same…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • No instructions

The future we've been promised

Many years ago I worked as an assistant editor on a Hollywood film Medium budget film. Since digital non-linear editing was still something new, our studio assigned a technician to the show who answered our many questions and generally made us happy. One day our technician made a comment: As he swapped out removable 100GB blocks in our custom-built disk tower (these blocks were the size of a small watermelon and weighed about 20 pounds each!), he said that someday - in the *future* - we could*…

Pros
  • Made of high quality aluminium. According to legend, the FD eXtreme is tough enough to withstand Thor's Mjolnir and reliable enough to handle everyday storage problems. Full metal body with gentle sandblasting for maximum protection of your important data. The 2.5" x 0.5" x 4.25" Fantom Drives eXtreme Thunderbolt 3 SSD is portable and fits in your pocket. No power required
Cons
  • Don't know

Great product

After a few weeks of use I was very impressed with the speed of the drive. I do large vector illustrations (work) and 3D animations (hobby), and working with Extreme directly from FD is much faster for me than working on the Mac itself. Perfect for my desk and also good because I can carry it with me when I'm on my MacBook Pro. Description says build quality. When I received it, I definitely felt the quality in my hands from the first time. Without a doubt, I recommend to all Mac users who are…
