Has anyone tried to put the 480 gb drive in a 11 inch mac air (late 2010) v 3,1? The transcend website has a red warning that 3,1 is not supported!

I have no information about this particular swap....I would suggest contacting Transcend directly because, with all due respect, they posted that warning for SOME reason....

I don't think so because if you use thunderbolt on Mac; the drive get very hot and automatically reject itself. But USB 3.0 will be fine and the drive is speed nearly the same for both USB 3.0 and thunderbolt.

I would give an unqualified yes; bought one for my little Macbook Air, use it as the backup drive and for all media, music, movies, and pictures. Works flawlessly, as advertised. 1Tb of storage, tiny package, the Tiny T.

I also use the 4GB Transcend SD card with no problems. It doesn't look like it is supposed to work according to the specs, but it does.

no its fine. I can guarantee that you will never see the difference between 4 and more on OSX as it will just cache stuff to the ssd which is really fast as well.

Stephen, Sonnet stated that the limit was the early Mac 2008. On my Mac which is an early 2008 Mac Pro, when I installed the card, you where able to see the SSD but I wasn't able to boot the SSD so I went to their support page and downloaded a firmware upgrade and now it does does boot and works flawlessly.

Just got one and it works great, but no, it doesn't show up in Mac OS X as a drive. I'm using 10.4.6 and can't see it in the finder, disk utility, or in /Volumes/. Bummer.

I have a 13 in Mac Air and it works fine. Very sturdy iI love it. I have the cube one though.

Yes, I put one in my Macbook 3,1 and went from 2 to 6 GB with no problem. The Mac recognized the 6 GB even though it says it only will do 4 GB.

No you can not use it. This cards work only with MacBook Air and Macbook Pro RETINA.If you need to improve your space you can use other alternatives. Recently I did that for a friend. We replace its "hard drive" for a new one from Transcend. Easy, good price, excellent results. Check it here http://www.transcend-info.com/apple/jetdrive/.

Hi Shiki, This is very helpful. Is it easy to partition the drive? I just ordered this so I don't have the drive yet, but when it comes I'd like to back up both my Mac and PC... Do you know where to find information on how to partition? Thank you!

Honestly, You have a out-dated machine...I had a G4 about 4-5 yrs ago... Nevertheless, I'm glad it still works for you though! From my experience, the technology from the g-drive is equipped with 400 firewire, but at times it does not boot-up the G-Drive my imac desktop - but does boot-up to my Macbook pro laptop.. However, when I attach a usb drive to the imac it pops on my desktop in an instant. I think the best option will your computer will be using usb / fire 400. However, call an Apple to really make sense of this.The combination 400/800 drives are too advanced... for your computer. Hope I helped out.

No Apple's products are always higher than most anything else. I would prefer this one over the Apple because this is what Seagate does, Hard drives. Apple has a company manufacture the drive then puts their logo on it. This one would be more stable.

The drive as it is , is a USB3 . To have it Thunderbolt capable you would need to buy the optional Thunderbolt adapter. Would the Thunderbolt adapter workd on the 1 TB drive ?. I dont know

I've used the Kingston HyperX as an OS X 10.9.x and 10.10.x utility disk. Wish I had bought the 128, but still very usable with reasonable boot time.

It's hard to say. While the drive is a standard 2.5" drive it comes with a 3.5" bracket. If the drive in you Mac is 2.5" and uses a SATA III interface I do not see a problem. Hardware such as a hard drive are pretty standard across system types. My final suggestion, to be sure, is contact Samsung support. I think it is well worth it as these drives are the best SSD's on the market.

you can use both, depending on the model of your MAC. For instance, I have a MACBOOK PRO 13" RETINA LATE 2012. Its design does not permit to use the 128 GB card because is too long and will not fit in this model. In the TRASCEND website you can find a table that indicates you the card you can use according to your MAC model. Best regards,
