The 2016-2017 13-inch non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro’s factory SSD has served well. But today’s apps and OS updates require more install space.

The Aura Pro NT joins a broade lineup of SSD upgrades offered for Apple laptops. Beginning with the first MacBook Air SSD in 2010, the Aura name has been synonymous with engineering that delivers the high performance and reliability. Its flash management and SLC caching technologies continue the leadership lineage; enabling to rip through production-level audio, design, and photography workflows, or just everyday file transfers/backups at speeds of up to 2,720MB/s.
