Fledging Feather 512GB SSD
I installed it almost 3 weeks ago. Very easy to install. Used time machine to load all the files, programs, etc. Needs more than a couple of hours to do that. Overall, positive experience.

Great product
Have a 2015 MacBook Air with only came with 128gb and saw this product. Straight swap. Because I back everything up to icloud it was a straight recovery/install. Really simple job to install as well. Very pleased. Delivery was quick as well.

Just what I was looking for
My wife filled her old hard drive and trying to find a replacement was hard work with many companies not offering a product and claiming I would have to go to Apple directly. Then I came across Flexx and was quickly able to establish they offered exactly what I needed. I ordered it at what I thought was an extremely reasonable price and it arrived securely packaged and very quickly. The tools provided worked perfectly and the hard drive slotted in very satisfyingly. Start up was easy and in no time at all the computer was back up and running with four times the space it had before. Additionally, as a bonus, for some reason the system storage was much reduced even though I restored the previous data from a back up. Overall I am delighted and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
