    The host computer itself must be upgraded to Mac OS 10.13 (High Sierra or newer) before this SSD drive is installed. This operating system contains an EFI firmware update which adds host support for these drives.

    Not compatible with Apple Boot Camp on MacBookPro11,1 or MacBookAir6,1 or MacBookAir6,2.

     

    Our Flexx branded in-house SSD`s are manufactured for us, to the highest DRAM industry standards, using only top quality, branded, flash memory chips (like Samsung, Hynix, Micron, etc).
    Our SSD`s are 100% compatible with your Windows or Apple Mac Computer, are JEDEC compliant and come with a 3 years warranty.
    By dealing directly with the manufacturer, we are able to keep our prices extremely competitive. Why not give them a try, we know you won't be disappointed.

     

    Performance for all older Mac models is limited at 1500MB/s Read and 1500MB/s Write due to PCIe 2.0 wiring only on the logic board. This is not a limitation of the SSD, it is a limitation of the Mac logic board PCIe slot wiring.
    Only PCIe 2.0 speed 4x lanes and PCIe 3.0 speed 4x lanes enabled Macs can utilise higher speed up to 3000MB/s.
    For example, MacBook Pro 2015 15" and 13" and newer can operate up to 2800MB/s Read and 1600MB/s Write at PCIe x 4 lanes.
    See an example of PCIe lanes wiring on the models below.

      Easy to install

      Posted by Tomasz Mat. on 18th Mar 2020

      512gb ssd drive for mid-2013 macbook air is what i ordered, and this is what i got, installation was rather easy, despite the fact that the battery connector wouldn't come off, but it seems it wasn't necessary, it's nice the drive comes with 2 screwdrivers, overall - happy with the purchase!

      Good quality drive

      Good price, easy to fit and seems quicker than the original, time will tell on longevity. Well worth the money.
