Transcend JetDrive

Transcend's JetDrive Lite 130 Expansion Card gives you the chance to instantly boost the total available capacity of your MacBook Air system without the need to upgrade to a larger capacity SSD.

Storage to Meet Your Needs

With their substantial amount of storage space, Transcend’s JetDrive Lite 130 expansion cards provide plenty of space for professional-quality photos and videos as well as a large music collection. Each 128GB card for instance, can store over 62,000 high-resolution photos, 32,000 mp3 songs, 32 hours of Full HD quality video, or seemingly limitless number of documents.

Low-Profile Design & Fast File Transfers

When inserted into the SD card slot of a MacBook Air, the low-profile JetDrive Lite 130 won’t stick out like a normal SD card and can even be left in place for on the go storage. What’s more, the JetDrive Lite 130 makes fast and efficient file transfer possible with incredible transfer speeds of up to 95MB/s read and 60MB/s write.

Built-in Error Correction Code (ECC)

Transcend’s JetDrive Lite 130 expansion cards are equipped with built-in ECC, which monitors the data that gets transferred in and out of memory and automatically corrects potential transfer errors, and also utilize a sophisticated wear-leveling algorithm for consistent long-life operation.

*Performance varies by capacity, user hardware and system configuration.
**Late 2010 and Mid 2011 MacBook Air models have reduced performance due to the card reader only supporting up to USB 2.0 transfer speeds.

*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.
