Perfect for Thunderbolt 3 Mac users

Perfect for Thunderbolt 3 Mac users
Photo is a speed test comparison between the 2tb Plugable SSD and my old 1tb Lacie SSD Model: SRD0FV0. First test with plugable was before any media was on the drive. Second test was with about 700gbs of 4k HDR on the drive (not while transfering data) just static. I'm running a iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) Processor: 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, Memory: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4, Graphics: Radeon Pro 580 8 GB.I'm going to use it for current 4k media projects as i typically have to transfer large files and this thing will save hours even days in the long run. Time is money.
