Buen producto a un precio aceptable ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Refurbished my old macbook air *by S***M on 29 January 2024* I have used the same macbook air since I started university in 2012. Despite its age it was still plenty fast and capable for my needs (mostly web-based, word processing, lightroom and minor photoshop work). A couple of months ago however it started to act up and started crashing when viewing youtube or doing other tasks it had previously preformed without any problems. I had just changed the battery and I did not want to give up the laptop just yet. After a long time troubleshooting, I identified the probable culprit to be a faulty SSD, as the original SSD for my laptop was apparently part of a faulty batched that had been recalled back in 2013, but which I at the time was unaware of. After much consideration I bought this SSD. I have now been using it for some time and so far I have not encountered any problems. Installation was quite straightforward, easy even for beginners. Upside is that I now also doubled my original SSD capacity and it feels a bit snappier than it used to (although this might also be because I removed a lot of bloat when reinstalling my files) It is quite expensive in comparison to normal ssd's but I suppose the proprietary connector adds some extra costs to production. Overall would recommend as it can really breath new life into old hardware and save it from the landfill. ## Frequently Bought Together - OWC 250GB Aura Pro 6G Flash SSD Upgrade for 2012 MacBook Air - oGoDeal P2 P5 P6 Pentalobe Screwdriver, 5 Pointed Star, 0.8mm, 1.2mm and 1.5mm, T5 Trox, Screwdriver for Apple, iPhone, Macbook Pro & Air and Retina and Repair Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/420501497-owc-250gb-aura-pro-6g-flash-ssd-upgrade-for-2012](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/420501497-owc-250gb-aura-pro-6g-flash-ssd-upgrade-for-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
