> 3 dayI purchased the 500gb ssd to replace the failed Apple ssd in my early 2013 MacBook Pro. The install was very easy with only the cover screws to remove on the bottom plate and 1 holding the ssd chip. I’ve been using this now for about 2 weeks and have not had any issues. I installed the latest os (Catalina) which seems to be running smoothly with no significant lag or slowness. The price is a little more then other comparable items but after researching and reading many reviews it seems like it was a good choice. My MacBook Pro has been revived and should get me a few more years of use.

Greater than one weekSince apple makes proprietary connections, this works great without need of adapter.

> 3 dayI love it. Of course, I know my purchase is too late for the model of MBPr. An 1 TB of SSD is enough for normal purpose of the machine, especially for me, and the performance is good.

> 3 dayI upgraded from a smaller capacity SSD to this one. The installation process was very straightforward. By buying the kit with the external enclosure for the old SSD, the transfer process was just a matter of waiting. As in all upgrades, back up your original hard drive, but this could not have been easier.

> 3 dayLove this speedy new 1TB drive! I had the stock 512GB SSD from Apple for the last 7 years and my machine was running slow and out of space. OWC to the rescue! Install was a cinch and my laptop is faster with much more room. Thanks OWC!
