Product details

The JetDrive Lite expansion cards provide extra storage space and are so small that they add no extra weight to your MacBook. Simply insert the JetDrive Lite into the side card reader slot of your MacBook to instantly increase your storage capacity. With 128 GB, for example, you can store up to 62,000 photos, 32,000 songs, or 1920 minutes of Full HD video footage. JetDrive Lite cards can achieve transfer rates of up to 95 MB/s when reading and 60 MB/s when writing. They are ideal for Time Machine backups, your iTunes library, or anything else you want to accomplish quickly. With a design that perfectly matches the shape of the MacBook, the JetDrive Lite cards integrate seamlessly into the construction of the corresponding model.

Specifically designed for the JetDrive Lite expansion cards, you can download Transcend's free JetDrive Toolbox software, which allows you to recover accidentally deleted images, videos, MP3 files, and PDF documents with just a few clicks. JetDrive Lite expansion cards are manufactured using the Chip On Board (CoB) process, making them resistant to water, dust, and shocks. No matter where your journey with your MacBook takes you, you can be confident that your JetDrive Lite expansion card is a safe place for all your data. The JetDrive Lite 330 is compatible with the MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display (Late 2012 - Early 2015).

Eine ungewöhnliche Lösung für Macbook Pro-Nutzer sollte man ebenfalls erwähnen: das Transcend JetDrive Lite. Dabei handelt es sich eigentlich um eine besondere SD- Karte, die exakt in den Kartenleser eines Macbook Pro passt. Die Leistung ist mäßig, für Time-Ma- chine-Backups von Bürodaten ist die Speicherkarte aber schnell genug...

Zwar liegen der Testsieger sowie das Modell von PNY sehr nahe beisammen aber sieht man auf die Werte, so fällt dennoch auf, dass die Speicherkarte kleine Vorteile bei den einzelnen Wertungen erzielen kann. Zwar ist die Karte ab Werk für Windows Systeme formatiert, sodass man hier sich erst einmal an die Arbeit machen muss aber dennoch lohnt das Ganze.
