Can I use THUNDERBOLT 3 480GB NVME SOLID STATE DRIVE as a boot drive for my iMac 2017 Retina 5K?

Hello Brendan,

Thanks for asking! Yes! However, please note that this drive will not work for Boot Camp running Windows, so if you plan to use this as a boot drive, you’ll need to be running macOS from it. To boot from the device hold the option key (or Alt if using a non Mac keyboard) to choose the drive as your boot device. This can be changed in the system preferences later if you want to make it the default. Please contact us at support@plugable.com for assistance! We’re always happy to help.

Best wishes,
