Unfortunately the drive is unstable and when mounted often crashes or freezes the PC. I consider returning it to get a new one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It just works!! *by on Reviewed in the United States 12 March 2026* I have a Mac mini M2 Pro, with 2 TB of Apple internal SSD. I only use iCloud for Apple Calendar and Contacts; I do not otherwise store stuff up there. SO, pictures, music, email (from 1985 or so) are kept online. I was running out of space. The only options were to start using iCloud or some other cloud, buy a new bigger Mac, or connect secondary storage. I opted for additional external storage.I looked around and settled on this 8 TB of external SSD. As I'd purchased other OWC devices in the past, I gave them a shot here.The device came quickly; plugged it in, formatted it (APDS, Car-sensitive, encrypted, owners enabled) and started migrating stuff. Files that I don't directly use/touch/open (Library, etc.) are left in the standard home directory on the integral SSD. But, my Mail, Parallels VMs, and the Osiris Data medical images database are also kept on the internal SSD.EVERYTHING else, including my pictures, music, are on the SSD. I've been running like this for 3 and a half months. When Apple fixes Apple Mail to allow its database to migrate (much as does the Music and Photos), I will move that the the SSD, as well.There have been zero problems, thus far.Try not to move it around too much as it has disconnected on me when I picked it up to dust; either its USB connector or those on the Mac mini are finicky. However, it connects right back up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meets all of the Expectations you should receive from a powerful, fast, small back up drive!! *by on Reviewed in the United States 3 October 2025* I reached out to OWC to inquire what their very best SSD External Back up drive was for Mac Time Machine and the Technical Representative praised this 8TB SSD OWC Express drive. I deliberated with other options and selected this one via Amazon. It is both lighting fast, secure and small so it does not take up a great deal of desk space. No Electrical wires required, simply a Thunderbolt USBC plug which was supplied with the Drive. I love it! And so far, I would highly recommend this drive over all other options. I have have Lacie Back up drives as well both SSD and HDD, and they serve their purpose, but no comparison to the speed of this drive. ## Frequently Bought Together - OWC 8TB Express 1M2 Portable NVMe Thunderbolt (USB-C) SSD USB4 Ultra Fast External SSD Drive with Aluminum Heat Sink Enclosure - OWC 28-Inch Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C Cable with 40 GBPS Data Transfer, 240W Power Charging and 8K Video Capability (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/722317445-8tb-express-1m2-portable-nvme-thunderbolt-usb-c-ssd-usb4](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/722317445-8tb-express-1m2-portable-nvme-thunderbolt-usb-c-ssd-usb4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
