Recommended MacBook Internal SSDs for 2013-2017 MacBook Upgrades

If your 2013-2017 MacBook Air or Pro still feels fine apart from being full or slow to boot, swapping the original Apple SSD for a higher-capacity drive is the lowest-cost meaningful upgrade you can make. There are two routes: a blade made for Apple's proprietary PCIe slot (no adapter, pre-installed macOS where the seller offers it), or an M.2 NVMe adapter paired with a mainstream NVMe drive from Samsung or Crucial. Check the adapter's listing for your exact model year and the drives its maker has tested. Bring the Mac in if you'd rather we did the swap (and the Time Machine restore).
