Is your Mac getting sluggish? Transcend's JetDrive 855 combines the Jetdrive 850 SSD with a sleek aluminium enclosure for the ultimate in storage flexibility. Use it straight out of the box as a super-fast external thunderbolt storage drive, or easily upgrade your factory internal SSD and re-use it in the enclosure. The Jetdrive 850 utilises the latest PCIe™ Gen3.0 NVMe interface to unleash next-generation performance, instantly revitalising your MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, or Mac Pro! Note, your system must be running MacOS High Sierra or above to use this product.)




The Jetdrive 855 is also currently the only product on the market that allows you to use either the included Jetdrive 850 SSD or your original factory Apple SSD in the included enclosure, providing maximum flexibility when upgrading. To upgrade you can simply clone your internal SSD to the Jetdrive 850 housed in the enclosure, then switch the drives over. (See the installation video below for more details.)


Upgrading your Mac with a Transcend JetDrive 850 allows you to increase storage capacity to up to 960GB, ensuring you have plenty of space for your documents, photos, music, and videos.




Feel the need for speed

Transcend's JetDrive 850 utilizes the PCIe™ Gen3 x4 interface paired with the latest 3D NAND flash and NVMe controller, resulting in compelling performance of up to 1600MB/s read and 1300MB/s write*. Transcend's JetDrive 850 gives you fluid, real-time performance for professional tasks, video editing, and 3D graphics.


Manage your drive with JetDrive Toolbox

Developed by Transcend, the JetDrive Toolbox helps maintain a healthy and efficient SSD by keeping it up-to-date, preventing functional degradation, and predicting problems before they happen. The JetDrive Toolbox clearly displays drive information, S.M.A.R.T. status for possible drive failure, a health indicator showing estimated lifespan remaining, and firmware upgrade.



Peace of Mind with a Generous Warranty

The JetDrive comes with a 5-year warranty (The 5 years warranty does not apply when JetDrive Toolbox’s wear-out indicator shows 0% within 5 years).
