Apple Macbook Air Pro External Usb Slot

I just bought the new Apple silicone MacBook Pro. But unfortunately there’s no SD Card slot. This works perfectly as expected.

I bought this to use with my Macbook Air M1 when connected to external monitor. I did not want to spend a lot of money for apple keyboard and always heard great feedback about satechi products so I wanted to give a try on this. I am glad I did and I could not be happier. I am using my laptop couple hours everyday and it's unbelievable how long lasting battery this device has. I almost never charge this (maybe once every 2 months.) back lit function works great when needed. Keys feel very solid and pleasant to type with. I strongly recommend this product to whom looking for an apple keyboard for a reasonable price.

For several years I have been using the small Samsung USB-C external drives (almost credit-card sized) -- I used two 500GB and one 1TB drives along with Carbon Copy Cloner and my MacBook Air. That worked well (although the 1TB became corrupted and unusable about 3 months ago) and I would especially back up the drive before any flight and separate the drive from my laptop at TSA. I just upgraded to a (wonderful!) MacBook Pro 14 and attempted a Migration Assistant transfer from the Air using a fresh Samsung backup. I let it run for about 8 hours and it never got past the first Looking for applications and documents... stage. To cut to the chase: I thus ordered this 500GB LaCie drive and did a fresh CCC backup from the MB Air. It took 7 minutes to backup 400GB of data! Using the Samsung with USB-C it would take 13 mins for ~22GB. (See screenshot of CCC logs.) I hooked the LaCie up to the MB Pro and started Migration Assistant. The whole process took ~15 minutes. Previously it would take hours. Sorry for rambling on. TLDR; A wicked fast external drive worth every penny. And Thunderbolt makes a huge difference!

I know everyone is talking about MacBook Air's and Pro's, but I purchased this so I could add a 2nd external monitor to my M1 iMac. I'm not a fan of having to cough up the price tag and that Apple doesn't support this natively, but I can say it works like a charm! Since I've been working from home I needed the additional real-estate and I can say that everything looks perfect for me. Setup was quick and easy! I will note, however, for those with 4 ports on the iMac, this needs to be connected to one with the thunderbolt symbol. Install the driver, connect your monitors via HDMI, and setup their position with the Display settings. I wish I wasn't so hesitant and purchased this sooner, but a huge thanks to the team for filling a need!

Works very well with my new MacBook Pro, external monitor, network, usb peripherals, all fine.

After six years of MacBook Pro's, I decided I no longer needed the firepower of those very fine machines and opted for the Air in part because I could not find anyone who could tell me anything bad or even slightly wimpy re the 2020 Air. The other part that prompted the switch was that demand for the Air appeared to persuade Apple to stick with something they pioneered but seemed to have fallen out of love with. If so many people continued to buy Air's even when not a lot of innovation was being invested in them, then who am I to ignore what the market was saying about the device. And the machine is light, fast, and has enough juice to keep an old guy like me chugging away in my eighth decade. (Yep, I am heading toward 71 in a few months.) The point here is that Apple continues to make very good devices that outlast the competition and meet lots of peoples' needs for computing, communication and creativity, even for old farts such as I who started a thousand years ago with PCs and see the Air as my buddy for quite a few years to come.

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 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.

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.

Apple now does not offer many options for Ports ( on new MacBook Pro)... only USB-C on its new Lap tops ....so if you have a new MacBook Pro you will need this . Other laptops and of course iMacs have USB-A ports .. so I have a new 16'' MacBook Pro and need to have access to ports other than only USB-C. Also there is no card slot ... beware.Get one if necessary. I also got a SuperDrive ... no longer an option on new Macs.
