If your Macbook Air (2013-2017) can use the new Aura Pro X2 then the new SSD reads data at 3.2GB per second, making it as fast as the current Macbook Air! You can get x16 more data than your original drive, it is blisteringly fast, which means there is no better time than now to upgrade and not buy a new Macbook Air. The speed of the Aura Pro 6G is twice as fast as your original SSD.
The good news is the latest SSD upgrades can make your Mac like new. It is the speed and size of data getting processed! Files, such as videos, are getting bigger to processor, the SSD in your Macbook Air is finding it hard to keep up. If your Macbook Air has slowed down or you have run out of storage, we have the solution.
I do not think many MacBook owners have gone through the hassle of upgrading the SSD, so this is unlikely to affect the vast majority of prospective buyers.
You can be looking at an eye-watering bill, unless your situation is covered by the warranty or accidental damage insurance. It also means that if it fails, for whatever reason, you will have to replace the whole logic board, which, as MacBook users know, is not cheap. This means that if you believe that you will need more storage down the road it is probably best to shell out for a storage upgrade before pulling the trigger on one. The SSD is now part of the logic board, which no doubts aids in making the 2016 MacBook Pros thinner and lighter.
According to iFixit, which has taken apart both the standard (referred to as the "Escape Edition") and Touch Bar-enabled 13.3-inch MacBook Pro models, you cannot change the SSD anymore or replace certain components without breaking them first.
