To answer most of your questions, this is a great product that every single macbook user should buy, regardless of how much internal storage you have.

This review is all based on personal experience with the product.
1. It actually has a little bit more than 128gb on the card free.
2. It does not unmount when the computer is put to sleep, even in the middle of a download.
3. It does not unmount when restarted.
4. It is barely noticeable in the SD card slot and just feels like theres something covering the SD card slot.

I have a 2013 macbook air 13.3". I have been able to use it for my Time Machine back-ups, and planning to install a windows virtualization machine, either bootcamp or parallels on it.

Although the computer recognizes the drive the moment it is inserted, it does need to be formatted to a mac os only format to take full advantage of it. It is formatted the same way you would format your SSD. MAC OS (journal extended).

I purchased the “Transcend JetDrive Lite 130 128GB Storage” after running across it while searching for 128GB flash drives. Wow, what a fantastic find!!

The Transcend JetDrive Lite 130 is an inexpensive way of increasing your storage, and is a great concept. I just bought a new 2014 MacBook Air with a 120GB internal hard drive thinking that this would fulfill my laptop storage needs. However after uploading all of my digital photos to my new computer, I soon realized that I didn’t have much storage left on my hard drive. I tried inserting a SD card in the side of my MacBook Air, however it stuck out to far. I also tried a mini USB flash drive, which also stuck out more than I liked. Additionally, I don’t think they make a USB mini flash drive any larger then 64GB, if they do I couldn’t find one.

The Transcend JetDrive Lite 130 128GB Storage was the perfect solution as well as the least inexpensive option per gigabyte. The JetDrive allowed me to double my storage space, and it sits completely flush, leaving no chance of being caught on something and being broken off.

The read write access times of the JetDrive are pretty good, with 95 MB per second read and 60 MB per second write. These read write speeds are actually fast enough to run virtual machines directly from the Transcend JetDrive. I have a 32 GB Windows 7 virtual machine and a 16 GB Linux virtual machine running directly off of the JetDrive. If I were to store both of these virtual machines on the native internal hard drive it would need to take 40% of the 120GB internal hard drive which I would not be able to do without removing all of my digital photos. Placing my virtual machines on the JetDrive was a great option.

I got this JetDrive card hoping I could launch Windows 7 from it, thereby preserving the internal drive space of my Mac Air with a 128 SSD. It works! An encrypted Win 7 Pro VM on VMWare Fusion 7 moves pretty quick. Probably couldn't run any games or anything super intensive on it, but looks to be fine for general use.

Here's a photo that shows how flush it sits in the slot compared to a small logitech receiver next to it.

Very pleased. I'll update this review later if anything changes.

I love this idea, and ordered one as soon as I heard about it.

Speeds are slower than promised on my mid-2012 MacBook Air, with both read and write speeds averaging around 30 on the Black Magic disk speed test.

But -- most surprising -- when the Mac sleeps, the JetDrive Lite unmounts. When my Mac wakes up, there's an error message ("The volume was not properly ejected"), and the drive has to be *physically removed and reinserted* to mount the drive again.

This is, at best, inelegant, and at least, impractical. It's certainly a disappointment. If you're thinking this will be a "pop it in the SD slot and have what amounts to another disk drive" solution, think again.

Hello Mark McElroy,

The new version of the JetDrive Toolbox comes equipped with a power save function which auto-ejects the JetDrive Lite before going to sleep and auto-remounts on wake.

If you have any additional concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at amazonsupport-us@transcend-info.com.

Regards,

Captain Transcend

This is an excellent idea and I was very happy for the opportunity to expand my Macbook Air 13"'s memory inexpensively. I've always had a good experience with transcend memory in the past. The "drive" sits in the expansion slot completely unobtrusively and is no hassle at all to use. I've had it for about a week, and the only surprises were (1) the transfer speed, when transferring a large number of files and photos (50 gig or so of documents) was very slow, and (2) after my computer ran out of power and went to sleep yesterday the drive was unmountable and, according to disk utility, needed to be reformatted. Running disk utility a second time, however, allowed me to repair it. So just make sure you have a backup! One last thing - reformat the Drive for Mac when you get it. I left it as ExFAT and due to this the files take up much more room on the JetDrive than on my hard disk; 40 gig of files ended up taking 70 gig of space on the JetDrive.

Agrochao,

So I can better help you, please answer the following questions. 1). What's your Mac Identifier? 2). How long is it taking you to transfer about 50 GB?

The MacBook will auto eject the JetDrive Lite in order to enter deep sleep mode when it is out of power. When power is restored, removable devices will not mount automatically and need to be reinserted. Disk Utility may be indicating the JetDrive Lite needs to be reformatted due to data transfers being interrupted as a result of the power loss. Our R&D teams are working on creating a software tool to automount the JetDrive Lite without reinserting it after power is restored.

If there's anything else I can help with, please don't hesitate to contact me at AmazonSupport-US@Transcend-Info.com .

Regards,

*Edited my review after 1 full month of use. Down from 5-stars to 3-stars. The reason being is that my battery life has drastically reduced. Typically on my MBA 2013, I was getting around 8-11 hours while traveling. Now, I'm only maxing around 3.5 hours at full charge. The battery drainage compared to what this card offers is just not worth it. So as a secondary card, I really like the speeds as I reported. However, to always have it mounted as an external, completely not worth it.

I purchased the JetDrive Lite 130 128GB here on Amazon for my 2013 13" MacBookAir.

First, it is formatted in ExFAT and I had to research to understand why. It seems it does have a speed edge over HFS+ so I'll be keeping it as is (plus the I don't have a PC if I want to reformat back to ExFAT). I have no problems with Read/Write, works right out of the box so not sure what the issue is of others reporting that it's write only. I renamed the drive and have copied files back and forth.

I ran BlackMagic Speed Test and I'm getting avg 52MB/s Write and 85MB/s Read as you can see the photo I uploaded. I ran this with a 5GB file.

Overall, I'm quite happy with it. My only complaint is how I might use this. I was so excited to get it I didn't really think through what I would store on here. Because of how almost flush it fits, it's not good for sharing files as it'll be incompatible to place into other SD supported devices. It really is just a secondary hard drive. And since I primarily use my laptop at home connected to a Thunderbolt display with a Thunderbolt drive, I don't need it as a scratch drive (my Thunderbolt drive gets 240MB/s Write and 320MB/s Read speeds so no need to change). I might just store it with movies and such that I might need while traveling.
