Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your MacBook Air is performing better than ever with the new SSD! It's amazing how a simple upgrade can breathe new life into your device. We hope you continue to enjoy the speed and performance boost!
First, the whole transaction was smooth from order to arrival. I’m not a super tech person but install went flawlessly. Cloning from Time Machine took a couple of tries but we got there. Going from 64GB to 1TB of blazing fast storage has been absolutely wonderful!
