Apple Macbook Pro Dual Boot Windows 7

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.

I have a MacBook Pro dual-booted with OS 10.9 and Windows 8.1 Update 1. This adapter works on both, without any issues. The manufacturer has the latest drivers available on their website.

I bought two of these, one from Apple and the other from B&H, and B&H rocks with speed of delivery. One of them is for my MacBook Pro 14 which I use Dual Display mode sometimes and most of the time the other monitor is for my Work DELL Latitude 3420 with USB-C and it's putting up a 5K Image. With the firmware update, the camera is good enough for me for Zoom and Facetime. These replaced my tried and true Apple Cinema 27 Displays. I love Apple Monitors, nothing else compares by a long shot.

This is my first macbook and transition from windows to macOS was better than I've expected. Points that I love most. 1. Interaction with apps are very smooth and have great native feel. 2. This mac is able to transfer/delete/install files at x10 faster rate than my windows machine. 3. Battery life easily lasts for entire day without charing. 4. Seamless interaction with rest of apple equipment e.g. airpods pro 5. Zero fan noise, I think my pro version does have a fan (not sure) but I've not heard it all for 5 days of usage 6. Out-of-the-box advanced security layer from apple when processing external files.

I got this enclosure to dual boot Windows on my iMac with an SSD. The installation of the SSD is incredibly easy and fast, just be careful of when you put the SSD in to do it at an upward angle until the SSD slots in without forcing it. After the SSD was seated the enclosure easily closed up and it was ready for use. There is a thermal pad to transfer heat to the case which acts as a large heat sink. So far with constant use and installing a bunch of software on it all at once, the case has only slightly warmed to the touch. There really is no need to worry about overheating because even under a constant load the case does a good job of drawing the heat away. For the price it is a great option.

This machine does everything I need at a great price. I can dual boot Windows and Linux, I can use an external monitor at 144hz through the USB-C port, audio out port is on the left, and getting into the device for upgrades is super easy--adding a second drive was simple. Personally I would prefer a larger keyboard without the 10 key on the side. The monitor is great for the price, but if you want better colors, you'll want to spend more on something else. I keep my chat windows open on the laptop monitor when I'm plugged into an external display, so it's no biggie for me. The WiFi radio it comes with is also a cheap one. Linux had no issues with it, but Windows 11 wouldn't connect to it sometimes. So, I swapped it out for one from Wise Tiger with an Intel AX210 and it works great now! Yes I would buy again and shipping from B&H got here fast!

Apple MacBook Pro's have always delivered, and this one is no exception.

This product is perfect for my 13 Apple MacBook Pro.

I edit Broadcast TV shows and I have a dual boot MAC Pro so I can run both Final Cut Studio and Media Composer. I'm tired of having to swap keyboards when I need to change edit systems. The Keyboard cover solves that issue and had the added bonus of protecting the keyboard from my mishaps with coffee during long edit sessions. So I now get by with one keyboard that I can't fry with my Starbucks. It's a win-win situation. You gotta love that!
