Apple External Drive For Macbook Pro

I ordered an external hard drive for my new Apple MacBook Pro to store my photos on when traveling. This HD has rugged in it's name and certainly stands up to the name. I have only set it up and not used it yet, but if it performs as well as my other four LaCie external hard drives, it will be an investment well worth the money I paid for it.

I purchased this to make an external boot drive for my 2015 MacBook Pro. This device is probably the fastest way to add external storage to my machine since the Thunderbolt 2 ports are far faster than the USB3 ports. Since this Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 enclosure is self-powered, you can use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter in reverse, making full use of the MacBook's Thunderbolt 2 port and getting super fast transfer speeds, making it suitable for use as a boot drive. I don't have any benchmark utilities, but I copied a large VMware image from the internal Apple SSD to an external 2TB FireCuda 530 and saw an Activity Monitor peak write speed of 1.6GB/sec, which is super fast. The case gets a little warm, but that means that it is effectively sinking heat from the M2 drive. I used this to successfully build and test a system upgrade to Mojave, and will continue to use this to occasionally run modern OS versions that I don't want to permanently upgrade to due to software compatibility issues with old apps I still need to run. Right now, it's Velcro'ed to the laptop lid and holds a 1TB drive waiting to test Catalina, so I can see which apps break before deciding if I want to take the plunge. All in all, it's perfect as an external drive for my older MacBook Pro, it's well priced, and extremely well constructed. I'll continue to use it for the rest of the life of this machine, and it'll still be useful if I upgrade to a more modern machine later.

This cable is used with the external hard drive that backs up my MacBook Pro.

I use it to extend the connection between my G-Tech 14TB external drive and my MacBook Pro in my studio.

I use all the connections with my Apple MACbook Pro. I do a lot of video and audio editing and use external SSDs, speed works well in edits as if the files were native to the internal drive.

Slimline external usb drive for Macbook Pro. I've used this to burn both cd's and dvd's, as well as creating file backups. Reliable and fast!

This external hard drive works great on my MacBook Pro. It is very small and easy to transport. I don't have anything bad to say about this product. It does everything I need it for and it's well worth the price.

I grabbed my SSD from my burned MacBook pro, attached this cable and now I have 1T external drive for editing my videos.

I purchased this external drive to compliment my new MacBook Pro M2 Max and no regrets at all. This drive is excellent, runs smoothly, boots up fast, runs fast with Thunderbolt. and is quiet as well can be for an SSD drive with minimal heat.

Purchased as a Time Machine external hard drive for my MacBook Pro. Works very well - plenty fast for backup tasks. Very quiet operation compared to the Western Digital drives I tried out. Great for long term storage of data as SSD drives are prone to data loss over time if not powered on regularly. Learned this the hard way :-/
