Things just got ‘bigger’ with the Transcend Jetdrive 725
With files seemingly growing in size each year, folks who have been using their MacBooks are bound to run out of space at some point.
The rate at which storage could be used up will of course depend on the main purpose to which your MacBook is used. For daily use, documents or even standard spreadsheets are likely not to eat up a lot of space.
But Macs are best used on photos of course thanks to its better graphic rendering capabilities which could hint that storage space could reach a point of eating up a lot of space.
The problem goes from bad to worse in case the one using the MacBook is into video editing. The more high definition clips are done (plus their length) could easily eat up space.
Hence, it reaches a point where storage may not be the only problem but the overall performance of your MacBook as well. So how can one remedy such?
Transcend has long been in the portable storage solution business and the JetDrive 725 should something that will come in handy. It is a handy piece to carry, something that can go as far as cloning your existing system and then swap your existing one to offer your more space and improved performance.
The Transcend JetDrive 725 is available in different storage sizes (240 GB, 480 GB and 960 GB), more than enough space depending on how much files you have as well as apps.
Imagine the load it takes off you and your machine with that large
storage space that should help you become more productive. While the upgrade to a higher SSD could be best done with the aid of an experienced technician, MacBook owners who want to try it out themselves can do so (but with extreme caution). How to clone your existing setup 1.Boot your Mac to the recovery partition (hold down cmd R)
2. The Select Recovery screen will appear once booted. 3. Click on Disk Utility 4. Format first the JetDrive (assuming you don’t have anything saved on it yet)
5. Click on Restore to clone the original data towards the JetDrive.
At this point, you have successfully saved your data and can either do it yourself or have a technician do it for you. It requires a lot of unscrewing and deals with delicate parts so it may be best to hold off and let the experts take it from here.
The lot includes an aluminum external case to protect your SSD and data transfers should commence smoothly via SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to SATA adapter.
The Transcend JetDrive 725 should come in handy, either as backup storage for your files or something you can use to upgrade the default storage capacity of your Mac. Whichever way you want to use it, things just got a lot bigger with this portable solution.
