Once again, OWC provides Mac users an upgrade path that delivers phenomenal performance, functionality, and reliability! Whether it's for a base-model 11-inch MacBook Air from 2010 with a 64GB SSD, the top of the line 13-inch 256GB model from 2011, or any model in between, an OWC Aura Pro SSD offers higher speed than the factory SSD. Get up to 275MB/s speed and up to 16X more storage capacity than a factory spec 2010 MacBook, and up to 530MB/s and up to 16x more storage capacity than a factory spec 2011 MacBook Air!

Now thanks to OWC and the Aura Pro SSD line, you can enjoy higher performance whenever you're ready to upgrade. OWC's Aura Pro SSDs provide almost 16x more capacity than the largest SSD available for 2010-2011 MacBook Air, while offering faster performance and reduced power consumption.

More Speed, More Capacity for MacBook Air

OWC Aura Pro SSDs provide a noticeable increase in performance over the factory SSDs for all MacBook Air models:

MacBook Air (2011) - Get 6G speeds with up to 530MB/s, more than 3x faster than factory.
MacBook Air (2010) - Get 3G speeds up to 275MB/s, 68% faster than factory.

1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences.
In terms of standard gigabytes, 1GiB ≈ 1.074GB and refers to the actual formatted capacity of shown under Mac OS 10.5 or earlier and Microsoft Windows OS.
Specific application environments such as temperature and duty cycle will affect the overall reliability rates.
