I was a bit sceptical about the performance claims for this product, but after installing the drive , wow, what a difference it made in my old Macbook Air. Pages open much faster, no more spinning ball, and my cpu runs a lot cooler when I stream videos. The manual was clear and easy to follow, I did watch some youtube videos on the process and that helped too.
One complaint, the pentalobe screwdriver supplied with the drive wasn't of the highest quality, the fit was a little sloppy compared to the driver I already had.
Other than that, fantastic piece of kit and highly recommended.
