GregWormald Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I've seen Crucial mentioned and that's what my local Apple dealer used when my internal (spinning) hard drive crashed. There are two ranges and they are close together in price and performance. Link to comment

TerryWI Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 If still in the market, I've used one of these the past few months: SAMSUNG T7 Shield 2TB, Portable SSD. It replaced a Western Digital 2TB MyBook drive that moved to backup duty. The SSD is connected to an Allo Digione. It is approximately "deck of cards" small and easy to place. Best of all, it runs off USB power & eliminated the MyBooks wall wart. SAMSUNG T7 Shield 2TB, Portable SSD Sorry - I missed the Mac part, however, in the product questions section folks do indicate it will work, so head's up. Link to comment
