We recently got a Macbook Air which had a 128GB SSD drive. Coincidentally, the folks from Adam Elements sent us an mDrive adapter for the Air.
The Adam mDrive is basically an adapter for a Macbook Air and Macbook Pro to expand external storage via the SD card slot.
It is the same size as a regular SD card and a cradle that fits a microSD card inside. The adapter then plugs into the SD card slot of the Mac and the OS detects the new additional storage as a separate drive.
The idea is simple and quick it’s similar to just plugging a 128GB SD card into the slot. The mDrive merely makes this process seamless by creating a cradle that fits into the slot perfectly — nothing protruding, whatsoever.
They’ve even added an aluminum edge finish so that the slot would look and feel like its part of the body of the Macbook (but there’s red and blue as well).
What’s a bit confusing is that it’s not just a single card solution. There are different mDrives for different models and iteration of the Macbook. That means an mDrive might work for a late 2013 Macbook Air but not on a 2014 Macbook Air (a table for model compatibility can be found here).
Th resulting storage will not be as fast as the SSD in your Macbook Air so considered it as merely a secondary drive for non-essential files. The mDrive is just an adapter so you’ll have to buy a microSD card separately.
