Rated 5 out of 5

A solid upgrade option

I have upgraded about a dozen or more macbook pro and mac pros using OWC solid state drives here at work. I typically purchase the computer with the smallest solid state drive (256GB) and then upgrade to 1TB or 2TB OWC drive saving $ over purchasing the same system with the larger drive, plus I can then use the 256GB drive in the included external USB 3 enclosure.
