Fantom Drives Extreme 2TB External SSD - 2800MB/s, Thunderbolt 3 and 4, USB Type-C, Aluminum, 3D NAND TLC, TB3X-2300N2TB

Fantastic little device. 3x my workflow speed.

Solid construction. Cant go wrong with a WD Black SN750 wrapped in a solid well built aluminum case. Fast! Comes very close to its claimed speed of up to 2800 mbps. If you have a Thunderbolt 3 port pay the extra $100 or so more. Its so worth it. Had a WD My Passport SSD and it couldnt even come close to its advertised speed of 1050 mbps.

I bought this compact SSD for use as the Time Machine backup drive for my 2021 M1Max MacBook Pro laptop/notebook computer. I have only used it three times so far, but it seems to work great; definitely a lot faster than the external hard drive that I had been using for the same purpose previously. This SSD is roughly the same size as a deck of playing cards, but surprisingly heavy for its small size. Naturally, I wish it cost a hundred dollars less, but so far I am quite pleased with it. It is worth noting the Thunderbolt cable that comes with this SSD is quite short, so it works fine if you will only place the SSD on a desk or table right next to your computer, but otherwise you would want to get a high-quality Thunderbolt cable with more length.

This is insane fast. If you handle large files or many files daily, then this is a no brainer.

Initially had problems as the disk is formatted for a Mac. No big deal I had a successful career pretending to be IT, I can handle this! Could not reformat the drive, updated all USB/Thunderbolt drivers, and still could not recognize the drive. Turns out the TB and USB ports on my name-brand computer were marked backward. Great work (insert name of major computer manufacturer here) dont need to be sued)).. Great thanks to the folks at Fantom Drives who had me up and running in no time at all

I never do reviews, but I will for the FD Extreme. This thing is as well-built and almost feels like solid metal (a little heavier than average, and a little thicker). Cool to the touch...overall best of dozens of external SSDs in speed and quality.

Buen pruducto. No apto para golpes como otros modelos, pero lo que si es abrumador es la velocidad de escritura y lectura. 2 a 2,7 gb/s. No olviden en formatearlo como corresponde. Lo recomiendo. Si la idea es tomarlo como para instalarle el sistema operativo y que trabaje 10 a 12 hs diarias, en ese caso es importante saber que toma temperatura. Espero haber sido útil.

I bought this product to use during an upgrade from MacOs High Sierra to Monterey, but unfortunately the Thunderbolt firmware on High Sierra was too old. It could recognise the drive on the Thunderbolt bus, but couldnt mount the disk. Once I had upgraded to Monterey the disk worked perfectly!

Love editing in FCPX with this little guy attached to my M1 MBP. super fast and works well! I then back this up to my home server and also backblaze.

Since i bought this hd every time i need to use it, i have to connect and disconnect the hd 10 times to make it read in my new Mac book pro…its really frustrating to waste so much time everyday to get it to work….
