There are still for any macbook pro with sd card slot. BaseQi or similar

Nothing beats cheap storage like that and completely flush with the case

But how reliable is it? I've heard stories about how unreliable it is, and it's got me concerned.

    It's a portable device, everything on it needs be backed up frequently in case of loss or theft anyway.

    I just wanted more storage for media for when I'm not connected to my home setup and/or into a fast internet pipe, and also didn't want to pay apple 1000% margin for 2 commodity flash chips.

    running a parallels windows install off one, no issues. macos does unmount if battery gets really low but not really an issue after reboot or replug.
