MacBook Expansion Partner—— Orrick iMatch Mobile Solid State DriveI. Introduction
Due to the needs of daily work and the habits of use over the past few years, last year it was updated with a 16-inch MacBook Pro. The Apple computer system is really easy to use, but the price is also really expensive, especially in terms of expansion, the capacity of 2TB solid state drives is as high as 3000 yuan!As a commoner, I had to find another way: to buy an external expansion device——Orico iMatch mobile solid state hard drive!
At present, this mobile solid-state hard drive is available in four colors: China Red, Dark Night Black, Simple Silver, and Charm Blue. The capacity is 250G, 500G, and 1T respectively. Due to personal needs, I usually store some evaluation pictures for future use, so I chose a 250G capacity.

In terms of size, it is only 69mmx32mmx10mm, and the weight is only about 38g, which is about the same weight as a lipstick of mine!
