Newer Macs all have soldered-on SSDs, a real bummer. Thing is, many Macs are still solid machines without the port hassles of newer ones. Running out of space internally is not a good reason to abandon a solid-working Mac (and one that still allows macOS High Sierra).
If storage is tight, there's no reason to ditch the Mac you know and love. The Aura Pro X2 SSD gives you up to 16x more space and the speed to keep up with your imagination today and tomorrow.
Upgrade your Mac with Aura Pro X2 SSD for a fraction of the cost of a new model and keep your Mac running for years. Blazing Fast and Super Cool Aura Pro X2 combines speed, stamina, and efficiency that will change the way you experience your Mac. The Aura Pro X2 is up to twice as fast as the original SSDs, delivering performance on par with the latest models.
I’ll be upgrading my 2015 MacBook Pro from its original 1TB Apple flash drive with a 2TB OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD (SSD = “flash drive” in Apple parlance), and then reviewing its performance. A big slowdown for me is trying to deal with Photoshop swapping with only 16GB memory.
