Excellent Product, Excellent Service
What a great product from a really professional, efficient and friendly company - Thank you- Ordered and delivered in difficult times - can’t recommend Flexx enough
-
Feather M13 256GB NVME SSD
Excellent product and service. Initial purchase had a fault but when I contacted Flexx they could not have been more helpful. I spoke to them at 1.00pm on a Monday and I had a replacement by 1.00pm the next day during the Christmas postal rush - outstanding service! The new SSD works perfectly and was easy to fit. Would recommend Flexx for your SSD requirements.

SSD for MacBook Pro
256 GB unit installed easily - as advised. Excellent tech support when required.
-
FEATHER M13 256GB NVME SSD
Good quality and came with the tools required to put into my 2017 MacBook Air. Pre-loaded with High Sierra which made the process easier. Uploaded a Time Machine backup onto it with no problems and now running fine.
-
No problems
Item arrived quickly. Fitted into a 15", mid 2015 Macbook Pro. It fired up as High Sierra, so no need (in my case) for recovery start up. It's only been in the machine an hour, so no idea on longevity or anything other than basic performance. Replaced a dead HD, so all good in my experience.
-
Fast delivery with no issues
Product was as described and helpful support documentation online for when things don’t quite go to plan. My older MacBook Air wouldn’t see the Fledging drive due to older firmware but found information on the flex website explaining how to work around it. MacBook Air working fine with new drive.
-
Terrific
Super service from flexxmemory, easy install, works a treat - prob'ly faster than the drive it replaced. (Macbook Air early 2014)
-
SSD upgrade
Fantastic service, I was able to check the correct SSD for my MacBook-pro. I received the 256 ssd he next day, together with the correct screw drivers. This made the upgrade easy to complete, the ssd card was upgraded within 15 minutes.

FEATHER M13 256GB NVME SSD
Ordered this item, arrived next day. Fitted easily following instructions I found online. I then went straight into Recovery Mode boot and Disk Utility but the disk wasnt recognised - I contacted FLEXX through a chat session and they informed me the disk was already pre-installed with MacOS and all I needed to do was boot, then upgrade and restore from my Time Machine backup. So simple! Recommend this either as an upgrade or a replacement for a faulty SSD, which mine was. Great company to deal with.
