You can even opt to purchase an install kit through OWC, which includes the tools to perform the work yourself, as well as the Envoy Pro PCI-e to USB 3.0 external SSD enclosure. It has a similar form factor, although you’ll notice that the pricing for OWC’s storage is marginally cheaper than buying the upgraded storage directly through Apple. OWC’s Aura Pro SSD is a nice option because it’s a direct drop-in that replaces the Apple OEM SSD in your machine. Because of this, if you were getting sick of only having 256GB or 512GB of storage, you would have to buy a whole new computer or use external storage options to gain additional storage space.
