The Capacity to Do More

Your MacBook Pro’s factory SSD has served you well. But today’s apps and OS updates require more install space. Video and photo resolutions are increasing, making files bigger. By the time you toss in your music, emails, and other aspects of daily digital life, your drive is nearly full…or will be soon. You’re left with two undesirable choices: deleting older files so you don’t max out your drive’s capacity or replacing your trusty machine.
The best choice you can make to give your MacBook Pro the capacity to do more is to upgrade it with the Aura Pro NT. With up to 16x more space over factory drive options, this high-performance SSD will keep your Mac running optimally for years – at a fraction of the cost of buying a new model – while keeping all your settings just the way you like them.

Uncompromised Performance

Sure, you can continue to use that small capacity factory SSD by supplementing it with an external drive or cloud storage. But to do so, you’ll suffer significant performance compromises, including lower throughput, higher latency, and misplaced files. The Aura Pro NT makes your MacBook Pro work for you… not the other way around. It puts all your Lightroom catalogs, audio sample libraries, 4K video footage, and games at your fingertips for immediate access with consistently incredible performance.

A Continued History of Innovation

The Aura Pro NT joins the broadest lineup of SSD upgrades offered for Apple laptops. Beginning with the world’s first MacBook Air SSD in 2010, the Aura name has been synonymous with innovative engineering that delivers the highest performance and reliability available today. The Aura Pro NT’s advanced flash management and SLC caching technologies continue the leadership lineage; enabling you to rip through production-level audio, design, and photography workflows, or just everyday file transfers/backups at speeds of up to 2720MB/s.

A Complete Solution

In true OWC fashion, we include installation tools and a how-to help guide, so the Aura Pro NT comes with everything you need to quickly upgrade your MacBook Pro. Do it all in just a few easy steps:
  • Create a Time Machine backup of your OS and files on an external drive
  • Install the Aura Pro NT into your machine
  • Use Internet Recovery to install macOS
  • Use Migration Assistant to transfer data from the external drive backup to the Aura Pro NT
And, if you run into any issues, our award-winning support team is a just phone call or chat away.

Store from Minutes to Millions

All the features and “technospeak” of an external drive don’t mean a thing if you don’t know how much of a particular file type it can hold. For every 1TB of your OWC drive capacity, you can store up to any of the following:
  • 250,000 photos
  • 250,000 standard quality songs
  • 38,000 high quality songs
  • 200 high-definition movies
  • 41.6 hours of GoPro 4K footage
  • 4.3 million MS Office documents
  • 24+ PS4/Xbox games
  1. Up to 2720MB/s sequential read/write (max) performance based on testing a 1.0TB OWC Aura Pro NT installed in a 13-Inch MacBook Pro (Mid-2017) running AJA System Test (4K-Full resolution, 64GB file size, 10bit RGB codec, single file test). Performance will vary depending on drive and application used.
  2. Storage examples for illustrative purposes only. Individual results may be different based on variety of factors including specific file size and format, settings, features, software and other factors. Storage estimates based on: 12-megapixel camera with 4MB image sizes, 4-minute average 4MB MP3 songs, 4-minute average uncompressed Apple Lossless (ALAC) songs, 1080p HD videos with 5GB average file size, GoPro 4K footage at 60FPS 24GB/hr, 250KB average MS Office document file size, 40GB average game sizes.

    1. OWC Aura Pro NT SSD may fail an Apple Diagnostic test for system volumes. Users may receive an error code when this failure occurs: “VDH002 - There may be a problem with the storage device". OWC Aura Pro NT SSDs that fail an Apple Diagnostic test should still perform as expected.

    OS not so simple

    Installation was a breeze. Tools worked great Reinstalling Mac Catalina, not so much. Backed up to Time Machine at beginning. When rebooted the MacBook Pro online it automatically installed Monterey which is not backward compatible with the Catalina backup. Mac won’t let you install old versions. Had to go to apple help and make a USB drive boot disk for Catalina to set things right. Then could use migration assistant to get old files. Once all back on the drive, and Catalina reinstalled, could not restore to date certain on older Time Machine but found everything. Then made new Time Machine backups going forward. Just beware. Maybe could backup to different drive would help.
