Hi team,

Wondering if anyone has an external ssd for macbook air (m1), wife needs it to edit videos on Final Cut pro - sounds like my first choice the Samsung t7 might not be that great, and Lacie has quality issues, now thinking a G-Technology, any input appreciated.

Price is not an issue, just want quality!

Thanks!

Claims that extended performance is better than most others. Also it is a USB4 drive so it does USB-C and Thunderbolt compatibility. Haven't used it myself but it's probably what I would pick up.

Sabrent Rocket is quite good for Macs since it uses Phison controller.
Both my wife and I are using Jeyi TB3 enclosure with 1 tb Sabrent Rocket nvme ssd. We got them from Aliexpress. That was the cheapest yet versatile solution for us.
