Apple Macbook Pro Retina Hard Drive Upgrade

I'm using this with my new Apple MacBook Pro Retina. The USB 3.0 is blazing fast. Copying files to and from the Mac's built-in SSD is very quick. The drive is quiet and discreet. I like this drive so far.

Amazing portable hard drive. Super fast. I use it on MacBook Pro retina. The speeds are great. Transfers large files (7gb+) and it's great. I know from friends Glyph has amazing customer service too so that's great to know.

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 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.

Does the job. Have my MacBook Pro Retina connected to my old 30 Apple Cinema Display.

Registered it with Apple for my new Macbook Pro with retina display without any problem. Thanks for the great price and good service.

I have always purchased Apple Care for my iPhones and have done the same with my MacBook Pro retina. It's good to have the added security should an issue arise after the Apple regular support and hardware warranty expires. It's a bargain for what it covers

Registered my new MacBook Pro 15 (non-retina) with this 3-Year Applecare Protection Plan, and received a registration certificate confirmation back from Apple within a few hours. I believe that Apple recently raised the price of AppleCare for MBP's to cover the less repair-friendly retina display models, but the older AppleCare plan (good until they're gone) worked just fine and saved a bundle!

AppleCare is AppleCare! Only way to go with my new MacBook Pro Retina. I buy it with ALL my Apple products since its inception. Hardly ever need it for big stuff, but it's great to be able to call and get expert solutions for 3 solid years. And if something major goes out, you're covered!B&H price beats Education Store at ( )! Funny, though, that they send me a disc when my laptop doesn't have an optical drive! Go figger....

I got this for a late 2013 Macbook Pro with a 15 Retina Display and I am NOW COVERED BY APPLE CARE! This is the same protection you would get from Apple except it is $$ cheaper! BUY IT NOW!
