Thank you for thee video. What does it mean that high sierra or later must be installed? My SSD burned out and I had installed macOS Catalina, but now the macOS internet Recovery utility show me the disk utility with Lion OS.

How much is the delivery cost when shipping to Germany and buying directly from you?
Because on Amazon, the Aura Pro X2 costs 20€ more, but shipping may be cheaper.

So I changed my ssd for my MacBook Air 2013 and now it’s like I am back in 2013. The only problem is that I cannot search on anything neither update on App Store. What do I have to do to get my MacBook functioning? Please appreciate any help!

Will this make the 2013 model run faster with a newer ssd? Or will it run about the same as having the original ssd?

[Sanyu-Tumusiime]

Could an SSD upgrade (in my case a OWC Aura Pro X2 1TB for a Macbook Air 2017) lead to a shorter battery life or more heat development?

Can I do the same with my mid-2011 MacBook Air? Thanks

I got a owc drive for someone with a macbook pro retina 2014 akready running catalina, but it cant even see the ssd now

[SifisAviationGR]

I do have a question please,
I tried to change the ssd with an adapter and all of a sadden the MacBook didn’t turn on again. Only the heater exhaust was working. Went to check with Apple as it had warranty and the motherboard had been replaced. Any idea why this happened after trying to change the ssd?

I want to install an OWC Aura SSD but how can i install high sierra to my macbook air 2013 if my SSD is corrupt and seems to have mountain lion as the recovery disk? It was on Mojave when the SSD broke but i think Apple tried to reinstall ML when it was in for repair.

I have an early 2014 MacBook Air running Catalina 10.15.7  Serial Number (system): C02NLYAEG085. I have 120 gb drive but only 15 gb space left, so I cannot update anymore. Big Sur update says not enough space. any recommendations for a bigger ssd drive. Otherwise, I have no issues with the laptop
