Save Money, Get Better Performance Over Factory Options

OWC offers new and existing model MacBook and MacBook Pro owners a full selection of cost-effective 2.5" SATA internal hard drive and OWC Memory Upgrade Kits to increase performance over the factory stock configuration.  Prices start at $57.99 for a 200GB 5400RPM drive, with the most popular upgrades including a 320GB 7200RPM drive priced at $114.99 and a 500GB 5400RPM drive priced at $179.99. OWC hard drive upgrades often cost far less than similar options installed at the factory, as well as offering a longer warranty.

OWC Memory Upgrade Kits are available up to 4.0GB for the latest as well as existing MacBook and MacBook Pro models and are backed with a Money Back Guarantee and OWC’s Lifetime Advance Replacement Warranty. Additional money savings are also available through OWC’s trade-in program, which provides $15.00 Cash Back per 1.0GB Apple Factory Standard memory module.
