Extend MacBook Air storage with Transcend JetDrive Lite 256GB
Transcend JetDrive Lite is custom SD Card for Macbook Air 13". Very slim after installed.
Create shorthand to SD Card
After mounted SD Card, You can access SD Card from /Volumes/sdcard
. But I come from android. So /sdcard
is better.
echo -e 'sdcard\tVolumes/sdcard' | sudo tee -a /etc/synthetic.conf
Reboot and now you can use /sdcard
.
Prevent SD Card from sleep
😭😭😭 Update 2020/05/05 —
disksleep
did not worked 😭😭😭SD Card always reject when lip the screen or sleep. To prevent SD Card from reject, use Lock Screen instead of sleep. If accidentally rejected, just re-mount SD Card manually.
I’m very happy with /sdcard
. But sometimes SD Card random lost when I lip the screen or when computer sleep. This is effect of disksleep
.
