Macbook Air 2012 Solid State Drive

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.

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.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

I was finally ready to upgrade from my 2012 MacBook Air, and I was excited about the new M2 MacBook Airs. I really like the midnight color, the slightly larger and brighter screen, and the improved design and performance. I'm a Mac guy, so this was really the only option to upgrade to for me.

Replacing a 2012 Macbook Air. Computer is mostly the same and the keyboard finally doesn't suck. What more can you ask for?

Our Macbook Air was won back on November 30, 2012 per television promotion. Approximately around February 10th 2017 the unit was not holding a charge for too long, The battery indicator would read replace soon. After researching the subject we came across B&H and found the Nu Power battery. What we liked most about the Nu Power were the instructional videos, reviews ,and the tools needed were provided in the box. The installation was straight forward and the laptop turned on immediately. The battery now lasts over 4 hours on a full charge and no battery indicator reading replace soon. This worked for a Macbook Air '11 model # A1465 (Mid 2012)

I used this drive to clone a laptop hard drive to a solid state drive. Worked well.

My 2012 MacBook Pro is now new again.

I purchased this external hard drive so i could back up my 2012 MacBook Pro with time machine. I was able to format the drive for the time machine and had absolutely no issues doing it. I was also able to partition it so it can also be used as a regular drive so i can store photos and videos. Out of the box, the device was flawless and powered up immediately when i plugged it in with USB. No power adapter necessary. When it's running when its recording or reading, its silent and there are no vibrations or rattling noises. Considering the 4TB storage capacity and the fact it's not SSD, this is quite a small device. I've been using Western Digital for over a decade and have never had any issues. In my opinion, they are the best devices and i would recommend them to anyone. They are the best bang for the buck!
