Elgato 1TD109901003

The new device now includes a Thunderbolt (and a USB 3.0) cable, which previous model didn't at launch, making it ready to use right out of the box. That is, if you can afford its current hefty price of $480 for 256GB (or $900 for 512GB).

The Elgato Thunderbolt Drive+ portable drive offers top performance when used with either Thunderbolt or USB 3.0. The drive is easy to use and includes both USB and Thunderbolt cables.

The drive is expensive and there's no bundled software.

The Elgato Thunderbolt Drive+ is by far the fastest portable drive to date and, for power users, totally worth the investment.
