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.

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!
