Bought this thunderbolt drive with a little bit of sceptism but it turned out to be a amazing fast thunderbolt drive that works perfectly with my mac mini 2018 i7. I use it as a startup drive and for more storage space. It writes and reads at a very fast pase. When i went to send my files true the recovery method it took only an hour to send 940GB of programs and files i use for music. The only program i had to reinstall its library was Cubase pro 12. At relaunch Native kontakt i had to let it search for my libraries and thats it. Now its to see about the durability of this drive. Ill post an update if anything goes wrong.

Small, easy, bus powered and oh-so-fast!! With a high quality Thunderbolt 3 or 4 cable and matching port (mine is a 2019 iMac) this drive offer superlative backup and copy of large media files like hundreds of GB of digital photos. Well done!

It is amazingly fast, copy 100s of gigabytes in minutes instead of the old standard of hours. It is also very rugged and feels like a solid brick of metal. It is a bit larger in size than most USB-C portable drives these days and its twice as thick. That also leads to it being a hearty weight, but these are barely cons in a pro-con argument and the speed more than makes up for bulk and weight. It is made by OWC which has been a Mac-centeric business for more than 20 years delivering trustworthy devices and supporting them if issues arise.

When I needed a scratch disk I immediately looked for a solid state with thunderbolt connectivity - OWCs drive was the first one I reviewed and tbe first one I decided on. This drive is fast, quiet and does the work. Very happy

It works. It’s fast. But for the price the storage should be double the size.
