Quality


This is a well made ssd with great performance.


Super solid construction as well and really nice material and flexibility of the included cable.


1, which is usb-c, not thunderbolt, and has sustained write around 720 mb/s and read around 630 mb/s.


0 (5gbps) in 3 hours 33 minutes 20 seconds, with full verification.

Price


This is the best value per gb ever.


Being able to buy new macs with base ssd capacity already has saved me the owc's price, and i don't have to wait for a bto (bui...  Read More


2 gen 2x2 interface to get the most out of the drive) is even cheaper as $290.


Now that amazon has dropped the 1tb unit price, i dunno .

Shipping


I needed fast and this item delivers!


Really fast (don't know data rate) connected to the thunderbolt port.


But after reading about very many user complaints about failed sandisk external ssd, i cancelled my order and ordered the owc envoy pro.


Just arrived, & this is my initial impression.

Packaging/appearance


Would have like it to come with built in password protection.

Competitiveness

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I needed to upgrade my 2019 retina 5k 2734 intel imac because the fusion drive had developed file directory hash errors that couldnt be resolved with disk utility first aid even after running first aid for several days


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I eventually backed up externally and offsite and reformatted the fusion drive and reinstalled macos to remedy the disk errors


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But the disk errors seemed like a harbinger of a potential impending hardware failure and time to consider replacing the aging fusion drive with newer faster solid state drive technology


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ssds have come way down in price since i purchased my imac


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This small nvme drive is part of the fusion drive and acts as a sort of drive cache


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But since it connects to the pcie bus on the mainboard it has the potential to be the fastest upgrade option by far


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But the internal sata replacement is actually slower than the external thunderbolt option


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The pcie nvme option 3 is the fastest option but the hardest to do
