    Excellent Product

    Purchased 1TB OWC SSD for my MacPro ("Trashcan"). It was very easy to install. I chose to do a fresh install of OSX High Sierra and have had not problems with the drive. Only issue I had was instead of the full on "torx" drivers I received an "L"-shaped allen wrench, which worked fine for the torx screws in my MacPro, but it did not work at all on the Envoy Pro Enclosure that I put my old 265GB SSD (I need to get that torx driver to secure the enclosure), but the old SSD is up and usable in the Enclosure. The 1TB drive is very quick. Thanks OWC for a great upgrade product.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!

    Good product. Instructions are contradictory.

    The Aura Pro X SSD is working great. No issues with its performance or the enclosure for the extracted SSD. If you're like me and read all of the instructions and watch installation videos before plowing forward, you may notice a discrepancy in the instructions for the installation of a heat "shield" and heat "sink". The clamshell case that contained the OWC Aura Pro X had a sticker that said "2013 Mac Pro requires heatshield. OWC p/n: OWCCAURAPROXHS". However a small printed sheet of paper that came with the order said "2013 Mac Pro Heat Sink Installation Please install the included heat sink to ensure the drive runs at the proper temperature. ..." The thing that made these instructions confusing is that the factory SSD module I removed from the Mac Pro had a black plate-like piece attached to one side that I would characterize more like a heat SHIELD rather than a SINK since it was a solid piece of metal, relatively thick and lacked any heat radiating fins that I would associate with a heat SINK. I didn't purchase the OWC heatshield that was mentioned on the SSD clamshell and instead installed the heat SINK (with fins) that came with my order. All is working well. Unfortunately the installation instruction video didn't mention adding a heat shield or heat sink. The video was produced before either of these additions were recommended. Love the OWC SSD volume Icon! See attached. It inspired me to change the long-standing name of my startup volume from 'Macintosh HD' to 'Macintosh SSD'. It really pops.
