Storing movies and photos can quickly fill up your Macbook. One easy cure is the HyperDrive, which lets you slot up to 128GB of extra storage into your Apple machine. Right now, it is $20 shipped via 9to5Toys Specials. MicroSD storage starts at a few bucks for small amounts and goes up to $18 for 64GB, $40 for 128GB or $75 for 200GB
Taking advantage of the SD card slot in the side of modern Macbooks, the HyperDrive can take pretty much any MicroSD, MicroSDHC, or MicroSDXC card. You simply slot in whatever capacity you wish to add, and start using it as a flash drive. Class 10 cards are supported, so you can enjoy transfer speeds of up to 95MB per second, while the Hyperdrive’s compact design means it does not protrude. It also features an aluminum cap so as to blend in with the look of your laptop, and there is a tiny groove on the surface for easy removal. There are two models available — one for the 13-inch Macbook Pro and 13-inch Macbook Air, and the other made for the 15-inch Macbook Pro.
You can currently pick up the HyperDrive for 33% off the regular price with free shipping.

So it’s a micro sd card adapter? What’s the point here?
The point is that it sits flush within your macbook unlike regular adapters that protrude!
like sfrides said, it sits flush within the system, meaning you can leave it there as fixed storage without risk of damaging the card or your SD Card Port. risk with SD Cards is that it will get knocked and the internal chip or the reader in the mac will break. It’s attractive too, having the same brushed aluminium finish as the MBP so it’s barely noticeable that there is even a card installed, short of a little groove for removing with your fingernail.
It should be pointed out that the 15-inch MacBook Pro version is only for early-2013 models and before. The 13-inch version is only for non-retina models. HyperDrive offers versions for later models on their web site but they are not included in the sale and are currently out-of-stock.
