Solid State Drive Macbook Air 2015 Replacement

Bought this to replace the internal SSD for an old 2015 Macbook Air. Installed the drive, downloaded the OS via USB, no issues, works flawlessly.

Solid state drive worth it.

This is my first MACBook. It is expensive and can not be upgraded after purchase - two big bummers. But it works flawlessly and has all the speed I was hoping for. I use it to create giant panoramas in Photoshop, starting with as many as 15 exposures. What took as much as 15 minutes to process now takes a few seconds. I have a lot of PSB files, gigantic. They save in less than a minute rather than 20. At home, I operate it clam shell style. I had no problem hooking the MACBook up to larger, calibrated screens, though I had to buy a boatload of converters. One way I could have saved money would have been to have purchased a much smaller solid state drive; maybe one TB. No solid state drive is big enough to hold all my photos. So, purchasing a conventional, inexpensive peripheral drive was necessary anyway. A harddrive that is configured for both PCs and MACS turned out to be the best way to go; though now I have about 3TB of unused solid state drive on the MACBook, a waste of money.

This is my second WD 1 TB drive, and I use them to both store and backup photos from my MacBook Pro (with solid-state storage). Even with lots of RAW files, the transfer rate seems fast. It is small, and easily stored when not in use. There is nothing about this drive that I would change.

Coming from a 2015 MacBook Air, the performance was the first noticeable improvement. Working with a visualization software on my Macbook Air would being speed to a crawl. With my new MacBook Pro, speed seems to be a given thing and the true power is when I have to run a few heavy resource software. This small laptop can go the distance, that's for sure. Buying from B&H was a delight. I have not done so for a while, but they really dialled in the option selection so I was able to find the best machine for my budget. I was so happy with my purchase that I bought a second Macbook Pro for my wife a week later!

I used this cable to clone the hard drive on my Acer netbook to a solid state replacement. Cable worked great. It is not something I will use very often, in truth it will probably sit in my cable drawer forever. That said, it was a reasonable price to pay. It is well made, with very rugged design and is backwards compatible with USB 2 & 1.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas to replace her 2015 Macbook Air. B&H Photo had the best pricing and had an excellent experience.

I had an early 2015 MacBook Air since 2017, purchased from B&H, that started moving a little slow. This product is so refreshing! I especially love the fingerprint function to unlock the screen. I also like that the design isn't tapered like the 2015 MacBook Air.

I just got this MacBook Air 15 to replace a MacBook Pro 2015, whose battery is the def worse for wear. The MBA is perfect for me. Large 15 screen for an OG and I no longer need to have the processing power of a MacBook Pro (of any silicon). I now pretty much use my MBA for all my browsing and youtubing (live concerts yes!) and basic apps vs using the iPhone and/or iPad-Mini I was using before (bcs touch typing is still the greatest skill ever). B&H is awesome too.
