Review on Boost MacBook Air Performance with OWC 250GB Aura Pro 6G Flash SSD Upgrade Kit and Envoy Case by Johnny Burns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Your YouTube videos make updating a breeze.

Although I have been building/maintaining my own systems since I set up my Tandy Color computer in 1982, I fully understand Apple's frown on people modifying their own systems, even if it is a Drive upgrade is or reminder. (Hell, some apples have the memory *soldered* to the motherboard, making the upgrade impossible). I "inherited" a MacBook Air in mid-2011 from a friend I lost to cancer, and as I have four other production boxes on my home network for development and proof of concept, I intend to use this laptop for my music production hobby/MIDI , but I needed more capacity than the original 128GB SSD. Searching YouTube for a few keywords, I came across a great OWC tutorial video on how to upgrade an SSD in the same MacBook model I inherited. Everything went smoothly and took no more than 15 minutes. Thank you, OVC!
