Replaces original Apple SSDs

This drive replaces the factory-installed storage in MacBook Air 11 and 13 inch models from Mid 2013 to 2017, MacBook Pro Retina 13 and 15 inch models from Late 2013 to Mid 2015, Mac mini Late 2014 and Mac Pro Late 2013.

Check Mac model and macOS version

Before ordering, verify the exact model identifier and year of your Mac against the supported list covering 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017 machines. Ensure the system runs macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later, as earlier versions are not supported by this NVMe upgrade kit.
