Buen producto a un precio aceptable ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Problemloser Einbau und Betrieb *by S***. on 28 March 2021* Hat top geklappt: schnelle Lieferung. Dann Backup vom MacBook gamcht, alte SSD raus, neue rein, Internet Recovery mit dem letzten verfügbaren aktuellen OS, Backup wieder aufgespielt und fertig. Läuft klasse und gefühlt ist diese SSD sogar schneller als die ursprüngliche originale 128 GB SSD von Apple. Lediglich den Preis finde ich etwas hoch. Nur weil die einen besonderen Apple-Stecker hat ist ja ansonsten keine andere Technik drin wie bei normalen M2 Formaten, die dann aber im Vergleich bei gleicher Größe einiges günstiger sind. Nun ja: aber auf jeden Fall immer noch günstiger als ein Original von Apple (was es aber leider auch gar nicht gibt). ## Frequently Bought Together - OWC 250GB Aura Pro 6G Flash SSD Upgrade for 2012 MacBook Air - oGoDeal P2 P5 P6 Pentalobe Screwdriver, 5 Pointed Star, 0.8mm, 1.2mm and 1.5mm, T5 Trox, Screwdriver for Apple, iPhone, Macbook Pro & Air and Retina and Repair Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/420501497-owc-250gb-aura-pro-6g-flash-ssd-upgrade-for-2012](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/420501497-owc-250gb-aura-pro-6g-flash-ssd-upgrade-for-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
