Macbook Pro Flash Storage Vs Solid State Drive

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.

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.

I have a solid state drive in my laptop and needed a little extra storage to store pictures and documents and this small flash drive works great for that.

The crucial solid state drive installed with ease. I have double the storage memory and it's 5 or 6 times faster than my old hard drive. That's a win win for me. Joe C. Charlotte, N.C.

This device makes a solid state drive (SSD) compatible for a Mac Pro. The hard drive slides that come with the computer only mount 3.5 inch drives. This enables you to take advantage of the new SSD's fast speed and reliability. It comes with four mounting screws so that you can mount your SSD (sold separately).

This is just what the doctor ordered to accompany my new Mac Pro. It is not as fast as a solid state drive but more than adequate for editing HD or storing video files. I also have a bunch of RAW photos on there as well that are easily and quickly editable in Lightroom.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

Our new Macbook Pro doesn't have enough storage for doing Photoshop/Lightroom so we got a 16 TB 2big Dock Thunderbolt 3 to act as the main drive for the system. The Seagate expansion drive has been the perfect complement to this setup since it allows us to do simple local backups of our main drive. So far it has proven simple and reliable. We have always had good experiences with Seagate. Highly recommended.

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