256GB Feather M12 SATA 3 SSD Upgrade – DIY kit & OS Included – Compatible with Apple MacBook Air 2012

Great value, especially for an SSD specific to an old (2012) MacBook Air, one who's SSD is model/year specific, with a limited market.The major brand SSD for this configuration costs $180, bare drive.The major drive dealer touts no drivers needed. This could be a MacOS specific check for genuine hardware, it wouldn't be the first time.I say that because MacOS doesn't support a 2012 MacBook Air anymore so I bought this 1TB SSD for a linux installation. works PERFECTLY.BTW, didn't check for the existence of an older version of MacOS installation as they say, just flattened it for a fresh Ubuntu installation.Ease of install was impressive for an Apple product, albeit an older, more DIY friendly Apple product.included tools were a critical element of the "ease of installation" judgement.

First, let me say I ordered the wrong drive (my fault) but Feather straightened out my mistake and got me the right SSD drive painlessly. Installation was super easy, less than 10 minutes. My Macbook Air booted up very fast (faster than the OEM drive). Having a MacOS installed already installed on the drive makes that process easy and then upgrading to the latest OS was as easy as any other time. Drive works flawlessly. Highly recommended!

Thank you for all your assistance! the product that you delivered was just spectacular! The operating system worked just as described and it had all the key MAC programs that I needed to get everything rolling including I tunes and Photos. The whole installation took 15 Min and the computer runs like a dream. I will be talking about your company to anyone I know who wants to upgrade their Mac Book or Mac Book Air.for your data I was not able to find a way t down load the whole I tunes Library form the I-cloud so i had to choose everything again. but my computer has my whole library in it now and I and beyond excited to have everything I wanted consolidated in 1 machine with lots of room for anything else I decide to add.Thanks for your Supreme Customer support!Yours, Josh

2012 MacBook finally crashed. Was ready to trash laptop. I knew if I took to a shop it would be expensive for both Apple hard drive and labor. Decided to try this product. 10 minutes to install, Unfortunately had to spend 5 hours downloading and upgrading MacOS to more recent software in order to run specific business apps. Apple is always a pain. But for the price, gave me an extra laptop that now works as well as the original with more memory.

Very easy to install. My 2012 MacBook Air had only 64 GB of SSD in it. Now it has 512 GB for a great price. The fact that this SSD has already an iOS Version installed facilitates that the MacBook can boot right up. Make sure you back up your old SSD first, install the new SSD, then upgrade to the latest possible iOS and finally restore your backup. Instructions for all this are provided with the new SSD.

Being burned on OWC SSDs in the past I was skeptical of this Feather SSD. Simple clone and install - I was up and running quick. No issues in use after the clone. Solid as a rock since. I use this Macbook Air for LogicX in my studio and the SSD performs like I need it to.Overall I'm pleasantly surprised and will buy again.

I wasn't sure about upgrading my Macbook since you always hear that it can't or shouldn't be done. But this drive works great! The instructions were easy to follow. The whole process only took a few minutes, not counting restoring my laptop's contents from Time Machine. I love the price point, too. $160 for a 500GB drive is wayyyy cheaper than buying a new laptop!

Easy to install. Simple plug and play.Fired right up.

A friend's MacBook Air died. Looking at the history of that particular model it seems there was a recall some years ago for the drives failing. I was able to boot into a USB drive, so concluded the hard drive had failed and the motherboard was still functioning.The 2012 model turns out to have been one of those "interim" models where they used a certain type (M12) of SSD, so I was lucky to have found this one on Amazon. I could have bought a larger capacity model for the same price but this one came with OSX High Sierra pre-installed, and the description of the ad confirmed it is the correct one.The packaging was very nice - a pleasant touch, given that many electronics components seem to just arrive in a plastic bag these days. So that was a nice surprise. It took less than 5 minutes to remove the old drive, install this one then boot into the operating system. The two screw drivers are very good quality and fitted their slots very well indeed. I am very pleased with the whole thing; my friend is delighted, as the Apple store he went to had told him the MacBook was dead. It wasn't; and now the laptop is very happy indeed.TL;DR - based on my experience I can happily recommend this product.

Funziona senza alcun problema , attenzione per farlo funzionare va partizionato con al massimo la 10.12 altrimenti viene visto ma non fa installare OSX

My daughter's MacBook Air SSD died and would not recover so needed to buy a replacement. There were cheaper and larger capacity SSDs around but I decided to go with the Feather SSD based on the reviews and the fact it came pre-loaded with Mac OS. Replacement was simple and straightforward - 8 torex screws on the back cover and one torex screw on the SSD itself. Fired up straightaway and then all I had to do was upgrade the OS. The replacement took less than ten minutes.

Very easy to install and has been working well for a couple of months now, so I'm happy so far.

I am very happy with the product. I was quoted $450 to $600 with $250 for labour. Apple told me they do not make SSD drive for older Mac. This is the best solution you have for $110 and 15 minutes of work my MacBook Air works better than before. The DYI kit came with SSD drive and 2 Screwdrivers and easy to read installation guide with the probable problems and how to fix it. Their website has a the video for installation very easy to do. Apple Best Buy London Drugs Apple certified technical staff quoted $250 for 10 mins works ridiculous!! Apple should look at these people and have guidelines forth for overcharging for Apple repair. Thank you FLEDGING for helping common people.
