Performance for all older Mac models is limited to 1200/1400 MB/s Read/Write with PCIe 2.0 x2 lanes and 2800MB/s Read/Write on PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes. This is not a limitation of the SSD, it is due to PCIe lanes wiring on the logic board. Only Macs with PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes can utilise higher speed up to 2800MB/s.

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.

Perfect fit
Simple and easy upgrade for my MacBook Air. The hardest thing was unscrewing the screw holding the old SSD in place, which had seized up.
