LaCie Bolt3 2TB M.2 PCIe-based Thunderbolt 3 SSD is perfect for new Apple MacBook Pro

Apple's newest MacBook Pro with Touch Bar has four Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) ports, making it amazingly versatile. While all the ports can charge the device, they can all transfer data and video too.

If you are investing in Apple's latest pro laptop, and you need blazing fast external storage, LaCie has a Thunderbolt 3 product that will make you giddy. Called "Bolt3", it offers 2800MB/s read, and 2200MB/s write. The beautifully designed drive also has two Thunderbolt 3 ports, so you can daisy-chain to other devices, such as displays or additional storage.

"For the Bolt3, LaCie harnessed the breakthrough performance potential of Thunderbolt 3 and paired it with two M.2 PCIe SSDs striped into a 2TB volume. Bolt3 delivers record speeds of up to 2800MB/s and cuts valuable time off of post-production workflows, such as ingesting RAW footage from RED or Blackmagic cinema cameras or transcoding 4/5/6K footage using Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve", says LaCie.

The company further says, "Bolt3 is engineered for long term reliability -- from the enclosure to the internal components -- to endure intensive storage tasks. Each product is individually Computer Numerical Control machined from solid aluminum blocks for rigid durability and heat dissipation. Effective cooling helps to ensure long-term component health. The stand securely docks the product with powerful neodymium magnets -- and detaches for easy transport".

So, how much does this jaw-dropping drive cost? It doesn't come cheap. The 2TB drive costs a very high $2,000. LaCie says Bolt3 is limited edition too, so if you need such hardcore performance, you should act fast. For videographers in particular, this could prove to be an invaluable investment.
