#Apple macbook air ssd upgrade upgrade
New Possibilities - For the first time, upgrade the PCIe-based flash SSD in your mid-2013 or later MacBook Pro with Retina display or MacBook Air with up to eight times the original capacity. The difference is accounted for by over-provisioning, and may vary depending on the technology involved.
* The 1TB offers 960GB of usable capacity, which is in line with industry practices: For example, Apple’s 512GB may be 500GB usable, 128GB may be 120GB usable, etc, depending on machine and model. Of course if that does occur and goes to 2TB, it becomes even more attractive. MPG wonders if a 4-lane device might arrive some time later, for higher performance needs in the MacBook Pro Retina. The Aura SSD is a 2-lane PCIe device with very solid performance (see tests that follows).

If going with the SSD-only option, these two tools are needed, or the NewerTech 14-Piece Portable Toolkit is handy in general (and includes those two tools). MPG recommends the upgrade which includes the Envoy Pro case option (see discussion at end), which includes all tools.
The OWC Aura for the 2013 and later MacBook Air or MacBook Pro Retina is an internal SSD upgrade to 480GB or 1TB*, which is up to 8X as much storage for the MacBook Air, and up to 4X as much for the MacBook Pro Retina. Similar performance is expected when installed into the 13" or 15" MacBook Pro Retina. MPG tested the 960GB Aura in the MacBook Air 6,2. Get OWC Aura and Aura Pro SSDs at (480GB and 960GB).
