Works with 2011 MacBook Air with adapter

Update 8/27/19: Drive failed! I'm not sure how to guarantee this? The packaging says there is a 3 year guarantee. I registered it online but I don't know how to apply. Will have to find out. In terms of compatibility with the 2011 MacBook Air 13-inch adapter, this drive works great. Of course, I can't say anything about the durability since I installed it and sold the MacBook.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Available in black only

Significantly improved performance of my PC

I recently got a Dell laptop with a Core i3 processor (8. The machine should perform basic everyday tasks without lag and the battery should last at least 5-6 hours, but it didn't live up to my expectations.I found out that it has an extra m2 ssd slot,so I bought this product and installed windows in it,I still keep a 1TB hard drive for storage.It changed everything , it has changed, now it is very fast, now it is very quiet, the battery lasts longer, in short, the laptop is better than a…

Works well and for less money

I used this in a Satechi Type-C Stand & Hub with a Mac Mini M1 SSD Enclosure. The M2 flash drive had B and M keys. Satechi only M and I thought I was stuck but I decided to try anyway and it worked. Works in the same range of access speeds as Satechi for more expensive drives. Approximately 1.5 to 2 times faster than a spinning hard drive connected to the W10 Desktop Board's SATA 3 6Gb/s port. I have other SPP drives on almost every computer I own, and now the number is approaching 10<G>.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Hard drive is fine, works great

"I really liked this hard drive. I've had it for a year and a half. I came home to turn on the computer and it said there was no bootable media. I Booted into Diskpart and there was no C: in the list of volumes and the drive had 238 gigabytes free of 238 gigabytes I. I'll run Victoria and see if I can recover my data and hopefully they'll send me another "The Drive is not at fault for Disk Cleanup Gigabyte overclocking software erases drives for some reason when Windows restarts I reinstalled…

Improved my laptop.

My new laptop (Acer Aspire E 15) started up slowly and had a 1TB hard drive. I added this m2 SSD, only 4 tiny screws for physical installation and now my computer starts up in a split second. Reconfiguring the drives to an m2 SSD, a Windows boot drive (C) and switching the drive to "Storage Space" (E) was no problem - and this is my first computer at 41! I basically upgraded to a hybrid for $40 and some time. Love it! Recommend, just make sure your computer has m2 slot and not 2.5" SATA slot…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

SSD failed after about a month

PLEASE NOTE: This product was also combined with an aftermarket heatsink. While unlikely given the circumstances, it's entirely possible that the SSD failure was due to a heatsink. Installed on my Acer E 15 laptop. Used as my main Windows 10 boot disk. The disk worked fantastic for the first month. Great loading times and no problems. One morning when the laptop was about 90% charged, with a Google tab open and no processes other than the main processes running on the laptop, I got a blue…
