The JetDrive Upgrade Kits are ideal for professional photographers, videographers, and graphic artists looking to enhance the performance and capacity of their MacBook system, and even includes an easy-to-use drive enclosure for converting the original SSD or HDD into a new USB 3.0 portable storage device.
Faster Performance and Increased Storage
Built on the next-generation SATA III 6Gb/s interface to achieve lightning-fast transfer speeds of up to 560MB/s, upgrading to a Transcend JetDrive SSD translates into faster system boot up and application launch times, while offering the lag-free responsiveness and stability necessary for data-intensive computing and advanced gaming. Moreover, the newly-released SSDs are available in capacities of up to 960GB, offering the perfect combination of speed and high-density storage.
SSD Upgrade Kit – Sleek USB 3.0 External Enclosure
For added value, JetDrive SSDs come bundled with all the tools necessary to facilitate the upgrade process and an elegant USB 3.0 external drive enclosure aesthetically designed to look like a natural extension of the MacBook system. In just a few simple steps, the original, factory-installed SSD or HDD can be transformed into a sleek new USB 3.0 external storage device to store and backup documents, photos, music, and movies. The enclosure is made of durable aluminum. The result is a design that is sturdy yet ultra light and easy to carry, and includes a handy travel pouch to protect the drive against scratches during transport.
JetDrive Toolbox SSD Monitoring Software
Transcend JetDrive Toolbox brings together the latest technology for determining the condition and optimizing performance of a JetDrive SSD into a single user-friendly tool.
