No pass-through Thunderbolt port. Bottom Line The 2-terabyte Transcend Storejet 300 for Mac has both Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 interfaces, which can be convenient if all of your USB ports are occupied. But you'll pay for that flexibility.

Most MacBooks (including MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models) come with solid state flash storage modules instead of the spinning hard drives found in older models. 256GB is a common capacity, but even the 512GB and 1TB models may not be enough for folks that wish to carry large media libraries with them.

The Transcend Storejet 300 for Mac ($188.99) adds an extra 2 terabytes of storage space to your Mac, with both Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 interfaces. While the flexibility is a plus over USB-only drives like our top pick, the, you'll have pay a premium for the privilege. Because the Storejet is so compact, it lacks a pass-through Thunderbolt port for daisy chaining other drives or displays. That's not a problem for Mac desktops or MacBook Pros with two Thunderbolt 2 ports, but may be an issue on MacBook Air laptops that only have one. The drive comes pre-formatted HFS+, so it will work with your Macs running and Apple Time Machine right out of the box. You'll need to reformat it for use with a Windows PC. A fairly comprehensive Mac- and Windows-compatible hard drive utility can be downloaded from Transcend's website, and includes backup, encryption, file sync, and file restore functions.

The drive comes with a three-year warranty, same as the Western Digital My Passport Ultra, and one year longer than the Seagate Backup Plus Portable. Pricing and Performance The drive's 2TB capacity is enough for about 500 1080p HD movies, and/or thousands of pictures and MP3 files. At the current $188.99 price, that works out to $0.09 per gigabyte. In contrast, the Canvio Connect II ($0.06 per gigabyte), My Passport Ultra ($0.07 per gigabyte), and Seagate Backup Plus Portable ($0.04 per gigabyte) are better values. The Backup Plus Portable also has twice the storage space for less money overall. The StoreJet 300 is only available in the 2-terabyte size. The Thunderbolt interface gives you more flexibility, but its performance is almost exactly the same as the USB 3.0.

Copying our 1.2GB test folder took 11 seconds on both Thunderbolt and USB 3.0. Likewise, running the Blackmagic drive test resulted in an identical 124.1MBps read throughput for both interfaces, while the write throughput on the same test differed by a miniscule amount (124.1MBps on USB 3.0; 123.8MBps on Thunderbolt). That's a bit faster than the throughput results we got on the Akitio ThunderGo on USB 3.0 (107.6MBps read; 107.4MBps write), but far behind solid state drives (SSDs) like the, which was faster than 350MBps for write and 425MBps for read operations via the USB 3.0 interface. Since performance is limited by the spinning hard drive, neither interface has an advantage over the other when copying files to or from the Storejet 300. The Transcend Storejet 300 is an easy and flexible way to add 2TB of hard drive storage to your Mac.

Ts2tsjm300 Storejet For Mac Free

It's especially useful if you've already filled your MacBook Air or Pro's USB ports, and still have the Thunderbolt port free. However, because of the Storejet's price premium, we'd still pick the Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive for its 4TB capacity at almost $40 less.
