Saved me from buying a new MACBook Air! I have the Mid 2012 MACbook Air 64GB and after moving to EL Captin space become an issue with my other daily use programs. I went with the 240 GB and is perfect! Would definitely buy again.
Works great. Has a pointless glowing LED on it, but you don't see it when it's installed.
Great product replacement l. Still working after 6 months.
Failed after 3 months.
I T DID NOT FIT MY MINI MAC AIR NEITHER MY MAC AIR
DOA... Or better yet... DON'T ORDER AGAIN! It's sad, back in the day, OWC was a good name with a good product. I usually disregard most of the negative reviews about a product. Unfortunately, these were spot on.
SSD drive worked great in my 2012 MacBook Air!
