\"EditorsThe praise for the OWC Aura SSD continues to roll in. The latest review from The SSD Review<\/a> has awarded the Aura SSD line its prestigious Editor\u2019s Choice honor, noting that the PCIe SSD \u201chas opened the market to countless very frustrated Apple customers with a high performing SSD\u2026\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Les Tokar of The SSD Review<\/a> installed a 1.0TB OWC Aura SSD<\/a> in a mid-2013 MacBook Air and awarded the upgrade four stars and the Editor\u2019s Choice award.<\/p>\n

Tokar writes that he was on the verge of replacing his MacBook Air due to storage limitations despite the machine\u2019s usefulness. However, the 1.0TB Aura SSD<\/a> and included Envoy Pro kit \u2013\u00a0for\u00a0repurposing\u00a0the factory drive as external storage \u2013 has allowed more flexibility with the MacBook and a longer life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to watch my storage capacity continually, constantly removing chunks of files while attending tech events where this MBA has always seen the most use.\u00a0Having a 1TB SSD in it today, along with an external drive, is a very good feeling indeed.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

More quotes from the review: <\/strong>
\n\u201cAs great as the [2013 MacBook Air] is, integrated memory (8GB) that cannot be swapped and Apple\u2019s proprietary SSD (256GB) held the promise that one day this MBA would become obsolete. The SSD was the hardest pill to swallow as I found myself having to carefully watch what I stored on this system for some time, as did countless others, because there simply was no upgrade.\u00a0Just in the nick of time, however, OWC pulls it off giving me a reason to hold on to this system for some time longer.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe OWC Aura (mid 2013 and later) PCIe SSD answers the call of so many MacBook owners that, until today, were limited to very low capacity SSD Storage.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
