@chokia
11 street @neuromancerx i'm not using sd at all. not sure if the speeds is fast enough. i'm using usb thumb drive. sandisk. regarding the protrusion part, it does protrude a bit, but it's negligible and won't affect nor need to make any particular adjustment. basically i just leave it there ever since i plug in. dump all movies and music in there. it add in a much needed extra juice. Most importantly, we'll need to periodically organise our drive. No amount of memory drive is enough. @gabriel.l it's an option as well, but having need to pay extra for the adapter alone turn me off. ---- for those who are interested i'm using SanDisk Ultra Fit CZ43 USB 3.0 128gb. i uploaded a picture for your reference, the price as well. it's RM 93 for 128gb. i'm considering getting an extra unit since my mba equipped with 2 usb ports. only hold back is, i'll be upgrading to macbook 12 next year and it only supports usb c. can't really utilise both units.

QUOTE(calvintiffy @ Oct 12 2016, 05:59 PM) Since you're leaving it permanently, does it gets hot easily? You won't feel any heat on the exterior plastic side. Only the metal/aluminum part is hot. Don't worry about the durability. Been using for 9 mths and counting.Seems like a good choice considering the price. |

Price can't be a major factor for using this. It's in fact quite expensive if u fraction it down per gb.
