Lightning-Fast
The Elgato Thunderbolt SSD is the fastest single-drive storage solution for your Mac. Using a Solid State Drive (SSD), it dramatically outperforms state-of-the-art portable FireWire or USB drives.
Truly Portable
While you're on the go, less is more. That's why the Elgato Thunderbolt SSD is engineered to draw power directly through the Thunderbolt port, without needing a separate power supply. This way, your data is always there with you, even when you're not near a power source.
A Safe Bet
Due to the lack of moving, mechanical parts, Solid State Drives are far less prone to accidental damage than traditional hard drives. Even better, the Elgato Thunderbolt SSD uses a rock-solid metal enclosure, guaranteeing not only good looks, but also added protection for your valuable data.
Quieter Than a Whisper
The Elgato Thunderbolt SSD is designed to work without the need for a noisy fan. With its advanced enclosure and the inaudible Solid State Drive, that means you'll never hear a sound, despite its constantly screaming performance.

I bought this drive so I could have fast access to my photo library when traveling with my MacBook Air.
I primarily use Lightroom and Capture One for photo editing; both of which are very demanding in terms of disk access. Keeping the library and images on the Elgato SSD has been a huge boost to overall performance. It makes editing photos on the road fast and enjoyable; night and day difference compared to trying to do it with a USB drive.
For those who like numbers - I'm seeing about 230MB/sec for copies to or from the Elgato SSD. It's rather shocking how fast even large files can be moved around with this little gem.
The all-metal case seems very rugged, and it looks nice too.
Highly recommend.

For me this drive was a life-changer because I shoot dSLR video, transcode it to a fatter format, and edit. It's shocking how much faster this drive is than anything I've used before. I work off a MacBook Pro so I love that a Thunderbolt cable is long and stays in the port when things get jostled, like when my dog bumps it. The drive small and beautiful.
One annoyance is it gets...not quite hot, but startlingly warm. I try to set it where it can get some cooling. I've never seen an external drive get this warm, or even close. I am assuming it uses less power than the spinning drives I have, but I'm data-free and wonder since it gets so warm.
For the first two months I would have given the drive 5 stars despite how warm it gets, but lately I've been having trouble getting it to mount on my MacBook Pro. I plug it in and Finder never finds it. I have another Thunderbolt drive from Lacie that mounts every time and many USB and Firewire drives, and they all mount. Yesterday it did mount so I backed up everything and now it seems to be working normally, so I dunno.

I love this drive-I am a digital and 4x5 film photographer and have been doing it for over 10 years. This drive I use as my primary 4x5 file drive for edits. Since 4x5 files are usually 500mb+ in my experience, working on a slow drive is frustrating. With this I can do all kinds of edits and not have any lag whatsoever. And saving is incredibly fast!!! I highly recommend this product to anyone in the creative industry that works with large files!!!

This is NOT a good example of Thunderbolt technology... You are really only getting a really fast connection to an old slow drive. Read more

Pretty fast--better than Seagate--beware MS Office issue
1) It did an initial backup of 180 GB in 2 hours on a new Air--not the speed I was expecting, but much better than USB 2.0 and 3.0. Read more
