Performance for all older Mac models is limited at 1500MB/s Read and 1500MB/s Write due to PCIe 2.0 x 2 or 4 lanes wiring 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.

LX300
I purchased this item due to price and reviews. Unfortunately I got problem with mouse and track pad whilst fitting,but hopefully that will be sorted. Upon trying to install from backup ,and splitting drive in 2: It would not start up,so I tried again and it just froze up. I called flex to report this and they were so very helpful,they at once offered a refund with no hassle. They even sent me a Mohave installer usb so I could erase the drive before sending back. Well the installer arrived Friday so I thought I would give it another go. Hey presto, I now have a working drive and installed windows on boot camp.so easy. I would recommend this firm highly as I have had first class treatment. Thank you for all your help.

Easy to install
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.
