A decade ago, I replaced my HDD with a Crucial SSD. Hardly using the laptop as I felt the space sucked, using my newer ones, when I went in to upgrade the OsX recently, it failed. No excuses. I was afraid the laptop was dead and it wasn’t. All I needed to do was buy this drive and install it again with a bootable USB for Mac OSX. Thank you for making my laptop new again. This makes it so fast, you can’t tell it is an old computer, and I do own new computers so I’m not ancient and out of the loop. I can use everything I love. With more storage? 2TB rocks. Quickly installed some of my heavier work software on this and it works like a charm.

Upgraded a 2009 MacBook Pro running OS Catalina. The installation was super easy (15 minutes). My Mac now runs much faster and much cooler. 1 TB gives me TONS of storage and gives me over 750 GB of free space to keep many more important documents, photos, videos, and downloads. BTW, it was a great buy at a fantastic price. Once again, OWC MacSales is my "goto" computer place!
