\"PR-MS-OWCAuraPCIe\"OWC\u2019s line of Aura SSDs<\/a> lets you upgrade the PCIe-based flash SSD in your mid-2013 or later MacBook Pro with Retina display or MacBook Air for the first time, giving you up to eight times the original capacity.<\/p>\n

Replacing your factory SSD with a high-capacity Aura SSD really is as easy as removing a few screws. And recently, Lucas Mearian of Computerworld put together a how-to guide<\/a> to show readers just how easy the upgrade is. Mearian was able to upgrade his 256GB factory drive to a 1.0TB OWC Aura SSD<\/a> and utilize the original drive as a backup with the OWC Envoy Pro enclosure, which he says will provide storage for years to come.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the new 1TB Aura SSD, I’ve got plenty of breathing room for years to come. And, if I ever decide to get a new laptop, my mid-2013 MacBook Pro will have at least as good an SSD as Apple is likely to offer any time soon.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
