Review on 💻 Supercharge Your MacBook: OWC 480GB Aura Pro X2 SSD Upgrade Kit with Tools & Envoy Pro Enclosure (Mid 2013-2017 MacBook Air & Late 2013-Mid 2015 MacBook Pro) by Lauren Perry

I bought this Aura Pro X2 1TB SSD to upgrade my MacBook Pro (Retina 15" Mid 2014) by replacing the original SSD 256GB Apple replaced for this MacBook Pro Pre-Install: Update MacBook Pro to OSX Mojave 10.14.5 I also did a Time Machine Backup Installation: Was easy, follow the instructions as per the SSD installation videos provided by OWC .Remove the previous SSD and put it in the case.Recovering the operating system: If you boot after replacing the SSD, turn on the machine, don't forget to press Command-Option-R at startup to go to the Go to recovery options. I used Disk Utility to format the new SSD drive. Use the recovery option to recover from a Time Mach ine backup from the pre-installation step above. OWC technical support was contacted via live chat to confirm the promotion. I noticed that restoring from a Time Machine backup is much faster than before - my system was restored in 45 minutes. Total time from hardware installation to a fully functional recovered system with a new SSD: 1 hour. Performance: I recorded drive performance before and after replacing the SSD using the BlackMagic Disk Speed test program. Read speeds increased from 668MB/s with the original Apple SSD to 1482MB/s with the Aura Pro X2. Write speed from 562MB/s to 1313MB/s. With comparable battery performance, no heating was determined - one week of use with a new SSD. So I'm very happy with the Aura Pro X2, would definitely recommend it to others considering an SSD upgrade.
