Great idea but looking at the speeds:
- 95 MB/sec Sequential Read.
- 70 MB/sec Sequential Write.
It feels like super slow numbers to me - It's like 3x slower than your internal SSD.
Overall it's a good and slick solution though for those who under-estimated their storage setup at the Apple checkout :D

@orliesaurus That looks to be about the same as other products in this space – it's not as fast as your SSD, but faster than external spinning hard drives.
@adrianthomas yes spinning, but this is not spinning. Also you can get external ssd drives for 150usd.
I understand the genius of the product is that it blends perfectly with the laptop - I'm just noting that the speed is very 2009ish (and i'm sure there's nothing that can be done about it)
