## Description

Fantom Drives eXtreme Thunderbolt 3 Portable NVMe SSD is the latest innovation in the data storage market using cutting-edge Thunderbolt 3 technology by Intel. With read speeds up to 2,800MB/s and write speeds up to 2,300MB/s, eXtreme Portable NVMe is designed for Mac enthusiasts and production-level creative professionals that value quality, performance, and reliability. eXtreme is backward compatible with the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and get 1050MB/s read and write. Built with high-quality aluminum, FD eXtreme is strong and durable for everyday use. The Thermal Dissipation Technology allows heat from the NVMe to be transferred to a thermal pad and then dissipated to each grooved edge of eXtreme. eXtreme Thunderbolt 3 NVMe SSD comes plug and play for Mac and is preformatted using HFS+ format. eXtreme Thunderbolt 3 SSD comes with easy instructions to format to NTFS for Windows computer or laptop with Thunderbolt 3 technology.

Review: It's a chunky beast (in a good way) - UPDATE I reformatted the drive as APFS encrypted and saw ~4.8% drop in write speed to 2439-2446 MB/s. Read stayed in the low 2500s. Still blazing and now more secure. I also picked up a Maxonar Thunderbolt 4 half-meter cable for something a little longer. The included cable is labeled as Thunderbolt 3. There is no noticeable speed difference between them. ORIGINAL REVIEW I got the 4TB non-TLC with the 3k speed and it's delivering about 3x the write and 4x the read speed of my Samsung T7 of the same capacity, which is basically a USB 3.2 speed drive, not Thunderbolt. This is about 4 ounces heavier than the T7, with a solid feeling metal case vs. the T7's rubberized case,. It's a thicc little drive that's a smidger taller, wider, and thicker than the T7. I tested it against the internal drive in a 2 month old MacBook Pro M3 (16") and a 3-year-old desktop PC gaming rig. While it got blown out of the water by the MBP's internal drive which was 2-3x faster in each measure, it was 80% as fast on write and almost double on read compared to the desktop with NVME. When you see people claiming they sped up an old, slow machine by using some variant of this as a boot drive, I'd bet they're telling the truth. It's fast enough to power a number of low-to-mid-range laptops or even desktops if they have USB 4 or Thunderbolt 4. Obviously I just picked this up and I'm in a honeymoon phase. We'll have to see how durable both the drive and its speeds are. But I am predicting I am not going to have storage anxiety with my MBP for a while.
Review: Feels expensive and the lightning cable is too short, but... - It's pretty expensive but the speeds seem fine playing my games thus far. I need to get another lightning cable I guess that's like 3 inches longer. I don't know y it's so short. Anyway it feels solid and is doing it's going.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a chunky beast (in a good way)
*by G***H on January 14, 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blazing Speed For an External SSD- Recommended
*by A***N on August 16, 2023*

I've been looking for an external SSD that is reasonably fast when using my M2 Mac Studio. The Mac's internal drive has scorching speeds that hover at 6GB/sec write and 5GB/sec Read with Blackmagic speed tests. The Fantom gives a consistent 2.8 Read and 2.2 write connected directly to a Thunderbolt port or the Caldigit Thunderbolt Hub connected to a Thunderbolt port. This is a huge difference from the appx 800mb/sec most USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices showed me. I bought the Samsung Shield, a ruggedized T7, for space and paid appx the same price for 4GB as I did for 2GB of the Fantom. The Fantom runs hot, but not as hot as other devices not sitting on a massive heatsink. I followed a Youtube genius's directions to build a Thunderbolt 3 drive using a 1TB Sabrent Rocket NVME PCIe M.2 card and a Sabrent toolless enclosure. The Fantom runs relatively hot compared to a quality USB-C 3.1 like a T7, but when you get into Thunderbolt, my experience has seen a significant increase in the heat of the device. A 2 GB SSD would have been double the price or more and my Sabrent project was a good deal at the time.. I almost doubled the speed of a USB-C Gen 2 device with 1400mbs read and 1500mbs. Storage prices have dropped significantly, and the Fantom will probably drop as well, as this market segment has seen significant technological improvement. Still, if you need fast external storage today, this is an excellent SSD. I hope it sustains as the heat is a concern, but my Rocket is even hotter but has run “like a champ" for the past 18 months.
