The Capacity to Do More
Your MacBook Pros factory SSD has served you well. But todays apps and OS updates require more install space. Video and photo resolutions are increasing, making files bigger. By the time you toss in your music, emails, and other aspects of daily digital life, your drive is nearly full… or will be soon. Youre left with two undesirable choices: deleting older files so you dont max out your drives capacity or replacing your trusty machine.

The best choice you can make to give your MacBook Pro the capacity to do more is to upgrade it with the Aura Pro NT. With up to 16x more space over factory drive options, this high-performance SSD will keep your Mac running optimally for years - at a fraction of the cost of buying a new model - while keeping all your settings just the way you like them.

Uncompromised Performance
Sure, you can continue to use that small capacity factory SSD by supplementing it with an external drive or cloud storage. But to do so, youll suffer significant performance compromises, including lower throughput, higher latency, and misplaced files. The Aura Pro NT makes your MacBook Pro work for you… not the other way around. It puts all your Lightroom catalogs, audio sample libraries, 4K video footage, and games at your fingertips for immediate access with consistently incredible performance.

A Continued History of Innovation
The Aura Pro NT joins the broadest lineup of SSD upgrades offered for Apple laptops. Beginning with the worlds first MacBook Air SSD in 2010, the Aura name has been synonymous with innovative engineering that delivers the highest performance and reliability available today. The Aura Pro NTs advanced flash management and SLC caching technologies continue the leadership lineage; enabling you to rip through production-level audio, design, and photography workflows, or just everyday file transfers/backups at speeds of up to 2720MB/s.

A Complete Solution
In true OWC fashion, we include installation tools and a how-to help guide, so the Aura Pro NT comes with everything you need to quickly upgrade your MacBook Pro. Do it all in just a few easy steps:

Create a Time Machine backup of your OS and files on an external drive
Install the Aura Pro NT into your machine
Use Internet Recovery to install macOS
Use Migration Assistant to transfer data from the external drive backup to the Aura Pro NT

And, if you run into any issues, our award-winning support team is a just phone call or chat away.

Store from Minutes to Millions
All the features and "technospeak" of an external drive dont mean a thing if you dont know how much of a particular file type it can hold. For every 1TB of your OWC drive capacity, you can store up to any of the following:

250,000 photos
250,000 standard quality songs
38,000 high quality songs
200 high-definition movies
41.6 hours of GoPro 4K footage
4.3 million MS Office documents
24+ PS4/Xbox games
