    Excellent product for an old 2008 MacBook Air

    Follow the video instructions how-to and you can’t go wrong. Took me less than 20 minutes to finish from A to Z. Now my good old 2008 Air is given a new life :-)

    Easy to install, works great!

    Overall, I'm very happy with the 64GB ZIF SSD drive that I bought from OWC. In particular, I like: 1) Fast overseas delivery (I'm in Japan) 2) External drive case included, which was very handy when I cloned my current drive to the SSD before installing the latter. 3) The installation guide video on the OWC website was very handy. The only downside was that a link mentioned in the video (www.macsales.com/drive-copy) is no longer active. 4) Performance - needless to say, the new drive is a lot faster than my old PATA drive. It has given my MBA 1.1 a new lease of life.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!
