Product details

Once again, OWC provides Mac users an upgrade path that delivers phenomenal performance, functionality, and reliability. Whether it's for a base-model 11-inch MacBook Air from 2010 with a 64GB SSD, the top-of-the-line 13-inch 256GB model from 2011, or any model in between, an OWC Aura Pro 6G SSD is the best enhancement for the MacBook Air. Just like other OWC upgrades, we include a free 'how-to' video to make this an easy and money-saving DIY upgrade.
