Seagate GoFlex 1TB Ultra-Portable Drive

This is one of the few economically priced portable drives on the market with a Thundrerbolt interface. I considered going with a SSD solution, although this solution is nearly one tenth the price of other solutions I reviewed. The only down side is that the drive is only 5400 rpm. Performance is good, although would be better if 7200. One major drawback is there is no Thunderbolt passthrough, thus this device will eat up a thunderbolt port, thus you cannot daisy chain any other devices on the port. If you can afford to sacrifice a thunderbolt port, this solution works well for a back-up drive.

Pretty darn good

Works well, very fast compare to USB 2.0. Pricey. Can be modified to fit your needs, but you will void your warranty.
