> 24 hourI pains me to write this review as OWC has been my go-to for mac supplies over the past 20 years. I ordered the 1TB Aura Pro X3 SSD with tools and Installation components. Only the SSD was shipped to me. Ill amend this review if this situation can be resolved quickly.

> 24 hourThis drive worked very well for me. The included tool set was a big bonus, and the video instructions on how to install were clear and informative; installation was a breeze. The drive is very fast, and has cut down load/save time by nearly 50% versus the original drive. Very happy with the purchase.

> 24 hourBought this to try and speed up my 2014 Mac Mini. Very easy and fast installation. The videos were extremely helpful. Formatting and performing a clean install of OSX was , again, very easy because the instructions were clear and concise. Net result - MUCH faster performance now.

> 24 hourInstalled the SSD into my 2014 13 Macbook Pro. Made a timemachine backup of previous drive onto an external then swapped. When booting back into recovery mode the disk was not showing up at first. I removed the drive and reinstalled it and restarted the device twice and the drive showed up. i have almost 9x more storage and my speeds have doubled if you believe you can do this project you can. I have very little experience with this stuff i was just bored.

> 24 hourThe install was easy enough, and the performance of my mac mini has increased greatly over the standard 1tb spinning platter disk. But the performance is not as described? But I am still happy with the performance with this upgrade.

Keep The Mac you know:
From drives to gear to stickers, you’ve put time into making your Mac your own. The Aura Pro X2 can give you up to 16x more storage and up to double the speed of the original drive. With that capacity and power, you can keep your Mac running optimally for years — at a fraction of the cost of buying a new model.
Continuous Compatibility:
Aura Pro X2 is designed for the latest macOS versions (macOS High Sierra 10.13 and later), taking full advantage of the advanced features of APFS including: strong encryption, copy-on-write metadata, space sharing, cloning for files and directories, snapshots, fast directory sizing, atomic safe-save primitives, and improved file system fundamentals.
macOS 10.13 High Sierra (or later macOS) must be installed on the host computer before installing the Aura Pro X2 SSD. These OS versions include an EFI firmware update for your host computer. Without the update, your new Aura Pro X2 will not function. When installing macOS to your new SSD, boot and press Cmd-Opt-R, then follow the prompts. This will ensure the latest OS version is installed.
Get Up and Zoom:
In addition to groundbreaking read and write speeds, the Aura Pro X2 is engineered with enhanced burst performance. This means your files load faster and stream fluidly, giving you an edge on your workflow, games, and creativity.
Easy DIY Upgrade:
In just 15 minutes, you can transform your Mac with Aura Pro X2 for speed and storage to rival the latest models. OWC video tutorials walk your through removing your original SSD and replacing it with a new one. Plus, our award-winning US-support team is a just phone call or chat away.
