Macbook Air M1 Not Reading External Hard Drive

Just what i need for my external HD on my Macbook air M1

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.

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

I am having a love hate relationship with the MacBook Pro M1 I have more than one external hard drives for Lightroom to be portable. The M1 has 2 C ports. One for the power plug, leaving one for memory card, external hard drive and monitor. This Pro Hub adapter works like a charm!

I've been using this connected to a MacBook M1 Max for about two weeks. I have an external drive, 4K Dell monitor, iPad, and iPhone connected. All are functioning without issues. My only minor complaint is that I wish I could turn off the LED on the front.

The product work perfecto with my macbook air m1.

Does what it says it will do and my M1 Macbook Air fits in it nicely.

So far so good. I use this on my Macbook Air M1

The adapter works great to connect my older external hard drive to my new M1 chip computer.

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!
