Buy an OWC SSD instead

Installing this SSD was difficult and it was frustrating that the instructions were so unclear. The first 6 pages explained common mistakes, but the instructions weren't detailed enough to go through the entire process. The video option didn't help much as it was very fast and had few voice instructions. In my case I called Revain and got no help, was asked to message the seller and wait up to 2 days for a response. I then called Apple and they helped a few and then referred me to a local store. The local Apple dealer helped me enough to explain how to create a bootable operating system volume, which was a step I skipped. After installation (10 hours from boot) the new SSD seems to be working fine. If I could do it again I would pay a little more and choose an SSD from OWC for much better guidance and support.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
