SeagateвЂ™s OneTouch hard drives are a popular choice with many users, and the company has launched this new SSD version.ДЄvailable in black, silver or blue, the OneTouch SSD is the smallest and lightest portable drive weвЂ™ve ever seen. That combination of speed, compact design and competitive pricing makes the Portable SSD a great option for anyone that needs a portable back-up drive for their Mac or iPad. LaCie quotes read and write speeds of 1000MB/s, but repeated tests with the BlackMagic speed test app showed the Portable SSD comfortably cruising along at around 1,300MB/s with no trouble at all. The Portable SSD has a solid, sturdy design that should be able to cope with a few bumps in a backpack or briefcase, and it performs very well too. LaCie hasnвЂ™t cut any other corners, though. The drive has a single USB-C interface, and includes a USB-C cable, but the low cost means that there are no added extras, such as an adaptor for older Macs that have USB-A (3.2) connectors. ItвЂ™s smaller and lighter than previous drives from LaCie too, measuring just 10.6mm thick, 50mm wide, and 80mm long, and it weighs a mere 45g, so itвЂ™s ideal for carrying around with your MacBook or iPad when youвЂ™re travelling. Rather than the sharply angular corners and edges of its predecessor, the compact Portable SSD has smoothly round corners вЂ“ perhaps following AppleвЂ™s recent fetish for rounded corners on icons in Big Sur and Monterey.

However, LaCie has also released this new Portable SSD as a less expensive alternative for people who donвЂ™t need James Bond levels of security.ДЄvailable with 500GB, 1TB or 2TB of storage, the Portable SSD has a new design too.

If that is the case why one would even consider purchasing normal SSD, when Amazon prices are almost the same for either model.The LaCie Mobile SSD that we reviewed last year isnвЂ™t available anymore вЂ“ although there is a new model called the Mobile SSD Secure coming soon, which provides additional security and data-encryption features for professional users. Some say that mSATA is 5x faster than SATA III SSD. mSATA vs SATA III Pinouts - are they the same (Signalling + Connector), to fit in the existing hard drive slot? Do I need to buy separate connectors/adapters.Д¤. The last thing we want is to compromise battery life for better speed and overheating base. What is the power consumption like and sustaining temperature. Does this particular MacBook Pro Model A1278 support mSATA SSD or just only SATA III SSD?Дў. I am not exactly sure if that is a true statement for MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Models.ДЎ. They make it sound, just buy it and replace your HD with this SSD drive. But nobody talks about the technical nature of its assembly within the Apple MacBook Pro. My Google / YouTube research just talks about form factors and how fast the performance is compared to Hard Drive. I have few technical questions before I invest $360 in purchasing this SSD. This can be easily purchased from Amazon.

Now I want to upgrade 500GB HD to 1TB SSD. Although I have already upgraded RAM from original 4 GB to 2 x 8GB.

I have just purchased MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Model A1278.
