Review: Gr8 Value - Great value, especially for an SSD specific to an old (2012) MacBook Air, one who's SSD is model/year specific, with a limited market. The major brand SSD for this configuration costs $180, bare drive. The major drive dealer touts no drivers needed. This could be a MacOS specific check for genuine hardware, it wouldn't be the first time. I say that because MacOS doesn't support a 2012 MacBook Air anymore so I bought this 1TB SSD for a linux installation. works PERFECTLY. BTW, didn't check for the existence of an older version of MacOS installation as they say, just flattened it for a fresh Ubuntu installation. Ease of install was impressive for an Apple product, albeit an older, more DIY friendly Apple product. included tools were a critical element of the "ease of installation" judgement.
Review: Macbook Air feels brand new; screwdrivers conveniently included with drive - Blown away by how different my old laptop feels. My mid-2012 Macbook Air feels like a brand new machine after replacing my failing Apple SSD with this one. Honestly shocked. It took LESS THAN 10 minutes to BOTH replace the drive and reinstall OS X on this new SSD. Holy moly. I was considering just throwing out the old laptop thinking that a 2012 machine was at the end of its functional like. So glad I decided to spend a very fair $55 on getting a new SSD just to see if the device was still salvageable. It's was more than salvageable. With this Feather drive, its a well-functioning extremely portable machine again. Extremely pleased with the purchase. ***Note: the special Apple pentalobe screw drivers are included with the drive. I also bought a set of Apple screwdrivers separately thinking that I'd need them to replace the drive. But Feather includes all necessary screwdrivers in the box.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Computer life saving product!
*by G***E on November 14, 2020*

With my 2012 MacBook Air hard drive not working any longer, thought the computer was dead. Read other people's reviews and thought for the cost, it was worth the risk. Could not have been more thrilled with the outcome as it took me longer to take out all the screws then it did to install the hard drive. The product even came with the screw drivers! The computer works again and I don't have to spend another $1000 for a computer! Great product, would definitely purchase again! Thanks
