Review on OWC 1 0TB MacBook 2013 2017 Retina by John Hall

Overheating Issue: Computers and Accessories

MacBook Pro Retina 13" Early 2015 I bought this SSD to replace the 128GB hard drive that came with my laptop. Installation was easy. Simply loosen the screws on the cover, disconnect the battery, remove the old SDD and plug in the new one, reconnect the battery and replace the cover and screws. cover again and make sure everything is ok inside and put the cover back on still much hot. when the macbook is used minimally, the temperature gets very high. after the reset the smc seems to be better but still hotter than with the old sdd. I bought an OWC SDD because their claim (OWC) said it ran cooler and faster, but I'm not sure about that claim.

Pros
  • There's Something Inside
Cons
  • Fits
