    My only concern is the thunderbolt wire is connected to the drive. You can't unplug it.

    I swapped out the 1Tb HDD for a 480Gb Sandisk SSD drive. It works great and was easy to upgrade. I went from 100mbps to about 400mbps. A great video editing drive.

    Well worth the difference in price from the Mini that has only a single USB3 port that is terribly fragile and no option for connection when it goes - and it usually does. I see this a lot with my students. ALWAYS recommend they return the Mini and get this one. Thunderbolt connection seems the more reliable.

    Excellent rugged portable drive. If you've ever dropped a portable drive and lost information you'll appreciate this. While not indestructible it will survive drops others won't.

    Purchased this for my Mac and with the thunderbolt connection it makes upload times very fast. I like the look of the hard drive itself but the orange bumper surrounding it is kinda loud for my taste. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars styling/no color options
