4 Stars
Great for what it is.
I only get ~20MB/s write on the 1TB model, but it's a great place to dump my music library, casual iPhoto shots (vs RAW files in lightroom), movies, instrument samples, one-off folders from older backups, and random media files. I've never had any issues with it not loading after sleep, though sometimes it will take a second or so to spin up. I don't mind the slow write speeds as I just start a transfer and do something else, and I'm not on internet connections faster than that if I'm downloading to it directly.Watching video off it works great up until a certain point - I've never had any issues with 1080p and 1440p, but once was trying to watch a very high res download and it would occasionally skip and buffer.For ~$140 and the fact there's no cables it's a great way to free up space on my primary drive though there's obviously limits to how it should be used.update March 2023: The drive was unmountable after I had deleted a folder with permissions issues (an AppleTV folder with shows in it that didn't show up in the app anymore) and restarted. I know these are a little flaky so I'm backing it up along with my internal drive to an external Time Machine drive every once in a while.One interesting thing to note is that Time Machine somehow saw it as a new drive sometime in November (no idea why) and created a second folder and duplicated backups, and made a third once I reformatted it. That'll eat up space and increase the time that time machine culls older backups.After reformatting it and trying both APFS & HFS+ I'm getting 7.5MB/s write and 90MB/s read in Blackmagic (and that write is backed up by real world transfer times from pathfinder). It'll take days to copy over the ~550GB of data I had on it at that rate. I'm going to reach out to their support department. Their support site says speeds may vary depending on drive size, and at this point I'm wishing I had just gone with a 512GB model as that'd be enough space for me and it seems like it'd be faster and potentially more stable.

5.0 out of 5 stars JetDrive Lite adds much-needed storage space without adding bulk.
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2015
Back in November, I upgraded my laptop to a 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina. It’s the first time in many years that I’ve had a brand new machine with the latest technology. It’s been a wonderful upgrade for me, but I did make one large sacrifice – hard drive space. The model of MBP that I could afford was the model with the 128GB hard drive. For some, that’s plenty of space. But, for someone who takes many pictures and tests lots of different software, the hard drive space gets eaten up quickly. Even though I felt that I could compensate for the lack of hard drive space with various cloud storage and thumb drives, my fiancé found a better solution for me – the JetDrive Lite by Transcend.

Transcend, developer of various types of hard drive storage, obviously recognized this storage issue for Apple users, too, and released a special line of expansion storage to assist. The JetDrive Lite is apart of that line. It’s small, sleek and fits right in with the Apple design.
JetDrive Lite is designed to be seamless with the MacBook Pro Retina. It fits into your memory card slot, but sits flush with the edge of the computer. It adds the storage space you need without adding any bulk.

Installation of this little device is a breeze. You can plug it into your laptop and start using it out of the box. Since it’s 128GB of space, you can store thousands of photos or songs. Plus, the JetDrive is blazing fast. It’s built with the highest quality MLC flash and can read speeds up to 95MB/s and write speeds up to 60MB/s.
Perhaps one of the nicest features of the JetDrive Lite is that it’s tough. It’s life proof. The cards are manufactured using advanced COB technology, making them resistant to water, dust and shock. So no matter what your lifestyle is like, you can rest assured that your storage is safe and secure — even if it ends up in the mud.

Having the JetDrive as an ancillary hard drive has been a wonderful addition to my work flow. Even though it’s hearty enough to handle media files, I tend to keep documents only on it. One of the things I think is really cool about this device is that it is made specifically for Apple products.
If you need extra storage space that is nearly invisible, I can highly recommend JetDrive Lite by Transcend.

La mejor forma de expandir la capacidad de almacenamiento de tu mac solo sacrificando tu puerto sd.
La tarjeta de 1TB te da bastante capacidad extra para poder alamacenar un sin fin de archivos.
la transferencia(escritura-lectura) no es la mejor pero recuerda que solo es para tenerlos como respaldo, no para trabajar directamente desde ella.
Sin duda una buena opcion de almacenamiento extra.
Del tamaño de una tarjeta SD que ajusta perfectamente en la computadora sin estorbar en los demas puertos, transferencia de datos aceptable
