OWC Aura SSD upgrade kits make replacing the drive in your MacBook Pro with Retina display or MacBook Air as simple as removing a few screws with the included set of tools. Free, comprehensive install videos and award-winning customer support make upgrading easy for everyone.  

No Hassles, No Complicated or Risky Hacks
Designed for Mac first, one of the most significant advantages of OWC SSDs is that you'll never need to compromise your data by relying on complicated software hacks or TRIM enablers to get the most from your upgrade.

Repurpose the Apple Factory SSD
All Aura SSD upgrade kits include the award-winning OWC Envoy Pro, a high-performance enclosure designed to reimagine your Mac's original drive as a lightning-fast external storage solution.

Quality Comes First
