512 Gb Solid State Drive For Macbook Pro

This is my second WD 1 TB drive, and I use them to both store and backup photos from my MacBook Pro (with solid-state storage). Even with lots of RAW files, the transfer rate seems fast. It is small, and easily stored when not in use. There is nothing about this drive that I would change.

I purchased this drive because it's reliable. I have the 840 pro versions as well in the same 512 GB size. Never a problem.

Upgraded my 512 drive in my 13 MacBook Pro (early 2011 model) which was having issues opening applications, and just overall sluggish performance. Installed the 850 Pro SSD and I now have what feels like a new machine. I should be able to get another 2-3 years out of the Macbook. A worthwhile investment.

Solid state drive worth it.

This is my first MACBook. It is expensive and can not be upgraded after purchase - two big bummers. But it works flawlessly and has all the speed I was hoping for. I use it to create giant panoramas in Photoshop, starting with as many as 15 exposures. What took as much as 15 minutes to process now takes a few seconds. I have a lot of PSB files, gigantic. They save in less than a minute rather than 20. At home, I operate it clam shell style. I had no problem hooking the MACBook up to larger, calibrated screens, though I had to buy a boatload of converters. One way I could have saved money would have been to have purchased a much smaller solid state drive; maybe one TB. No solid state drive is big enough to hold all my photos. So, purchasing a conventional, inexpensive peripheral drive was necessary anyway. A harddrive that is configured for both PCs and MACS turned out to be the best way to go; though now I have about 3TB of unused solid state drive on the MACBook, a waste of money.

I use my G-Raid 8TB drive as a raid 1 with my MacBook Pro with a 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory. It feels like I'm working on images in my hard drive with no lag. I use Lightroom, Photoshop and other plugins with ease. I recommend this external HD.

As soon as I got the drive, I backed up one of my biggest folders on my MacBook Pro. It took less than 3 seconds - 550 files - 3/4 of a GB. I was MOST impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An Excellent Investment! PRO Plus + SDXC 512 GB Memory Card. I purchased this memory card a month ago, and I'm absolutely thrilled with its performance. The PRO Plus + SDXC 512 GB card has exceeded my expectations in every aspect.I'm extremely satisfied with this memory card. Its capacity, speed, and compatibility make it an essential tool for my daily needs. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a reliable and efficient storage solution.

The SanDisk 512 GB Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC Memory Card is a useful memory card for my Nikon Z6II camera. This card is fast, reliable, and has enough memory for long term use. I’ve used SanDisk Memory Cards for many years and rely on them to preserve my photographs. Highly recommended.

The 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD combination makes the Mac Mini M2 Pro bulletproof for my applications and work flow. I paired it with a Dell Ultrasharp U2723QE for a cost effective setup that, for me at least, is as good as the much, much, more expensive Studio Mac and Monitor route. I am sure this is not powerful enough for some, but really, not for many. Great Mac !
