Make A Usb Flash Drive Bootable Mac

Perfect size for bootable flash drive

I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable version of my mac on this drive. Now when I travel back to visit my folks, I slip it into my cary on - while I'm there, I simply plug into their mac and boot from this drive giving me access to all of my files and software. No worries about damage to my laptop when I get there, so much less baggage as I navigate from gate to gate. Great product!

Small! Fast! Easy to grip and pull out! It makes a great bootable USB drive for Windows 10 installations. I bought 3. The other 2 are now Windows Recovery Sticks.

Update can be done without old CPU with USB flash drive only.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.

Replace your optical drive with an fast SSD to give your old Mac new life. Make the SSD your startup drive and max out your RAM toget greater speed and performance.

I purchased this 3TB USB hard drive to backup my new MAC. The drive arrived in 2 days with free shipping. The drive was packed well and was in great condition. The drive is formatted for Mac and worked as soon as it was plugged in. The readme file on the drive explains other details and tips. I used the Mac app Time Machine to backup the Hard drive. No problems whatsoever. I like WD hard drives because they are very reliable and work properly right out of the box for both IOS and Windows.

Easy to use and durable USB flash drive

On a Mac, at least. Make sure you have an actual thunderbolt 3 cable.

I bought this SSD to do a SuperDuper bootable backup of my entire 4TB disk, in my MBPro. It was much faster than expected and I expected a lot. The only issue that I encountered was that I had to re-format the SSD, before it could be used for a bootable backup. No big deal. In fact, even though this was marketed by the manufacturer, as being for Mac, I unexpected this issue, because very few companies that market to Mac users really know what it takes to be FULLY Mac-compatible. If you are looking for an SSD for routine backups, this SSD is Mac-ready. But it is definitely NOT 100% Mac-Compatible. If you intend to create a bootable backup, you'll have to reformat, using Disk Utility. That said, that only takes a few seconds. OTOH, I know some people who are afraid of most utility apps that they are not familiar with. In fact, most of those people miss the days of rotary dial phones. It's a great product... just be prepared to re-format if you are making a bootable backup or want the fastest, most Mac-compatible product. The size is great. It's just slightly larger than the leather business card holder that I carry. In fact, although I'm a techie, every time I pick it up I can't help but think about that fact that I'm holding a 4TB drive. I remember back in the 80's, when it took two of us to lift an 850MB CDC HDD into a 19-inch rack. I realize that this little thing holds more than 4,000 times the data of that old heavy HDD. WOW! Build quality seems to be very good. It appears to be metal, with a rubberized back and sides. In other words, it gives you something to grip and it won't be easily knocked off a table, if it is laying on the rubber side. The metal side is good for applying P-Touch labels. There is no activity indicator light. This is yet another non-issue for me. I only mention it because I know some people like to see a light. Highly recommended, despite the minor initial format issue.
