This OWC SSD provides Mac users an upgrade path that delivers phenomenal performance, functionality, and reliability! Whether it's for a base-model 11-inch MacBook Air from 2010 with a 64GB SSD, the top of the line 13-inch 256GB model from 2011, or any model in between, an OWC Aura Pro 6G SSD is the best enhancement for the MacBook Air.

OWC Aura Pro SSDs provide a noticeable increase in performance over the factory SSDs for all MacBook Air models:
