Question: Q: Backup Transcend JetDrive Lite (memory card) to Time Capsule. Is it possible to back up media on a Transcend JetDrive Lite. Yes you can, but it must run with Mac OS Extended format. JetDrive Lite's default format is exFAT, if you already have some data on your JetDrive Lite, the data will lost when you run the Time Machine as.
I just purchased a JetDrive yesterday. After formatting it, I needed to re-link my dropbox to the Transcend/JetDrive SD card.
The selective sync only controls what syncs to your DropBox location, not what folder you use for DropBox. Go to Settings/preferences/Account and you will see an option to unlink your DropBox. Then re-link it to the JetDrive. DropBox will re-sync to that new location and then you can delete the old DropBox folder.One thing about JetDrive that I have not gotten to work. When my MacBook Pro wakes from sleep, the operating system doesn't always mount the JetDrive before DropBox throws an error saying it can't see the folder location, causing DB to quit and then I have to re-launch DB (huge pain).
Using the JetDrive settings hasn't fixed it either. I'll repost if I figure it out.
I'm hitting the same wall. I formatted the drive as per the instructions for the JetDrive Lite on my MBP 15' Retina.
My company DB account was getting too big to keep on the original hard drive hence the expansion with JetDrive. However, upon waking the computer, it doens't always recognized the JetDrive and subsequently won't sync the DB account. I often have to remove and re-insert the JetDrive Lite disc which it meant to not be removed frequently.Am I missing something in the formatting that may be causing this?
Is it an issue with the JetDriveLite that another product doesn't have perhaps? I'm assuming it's something im doing/not doing.
I have solved this. I apologize for not posting my solution. You need to change your Mac's sleep/energy settings. Go to System Settings. Under Energy Saver, uncheck the option to put the hard drives to sleep when possible.
Then, enable Power Nap. Do this under both the Battery and Power Adapter tabs. Also, on the JetDrive software (under JetDrive Lite) turn Power Save to 'off'. Changing these settings allows the Transcend to maintain a connection to the computer and not think it's been powered off.I have noticed very little impact to my battery levels when leaving the MBP unplugged overnight and the Transcend card stays connected. If you need more assistance, please reply back. This is the first solution going this route I've seen and the only one that seems to have fixed all of the issues we were hitting.I'll update if anything further happens.Thanks for the tip!wrote:I have solved this.
