Description

Turbocharged Performance

Using the latest in PCIe NVMe interface technology, reach speeds of up to 3100 MB/s read and 2700 MB/s write with virtually no speed drop-offs regardless of capacity used. Up to twice the speeds of the original drive*. Breathe new life into the Mac you already know and love without breaking the bank.

*iMac Users, the iMacs with the following EMC numbers are capped at 700MB/s: 2638, 2742, 2805, 2806.

Please note that most machines are capped at 1500/1500 MBps read/write and will not be capable of fully utilizing the max speeds of M13.

Everything You Need Preloaded

Preloaded with High Sierra, this is the only drive on the market with all the tools and instructions needed to quickly and easily install your new drive and safely transfer your data without having to visit a repair shop, buy more tools, or follow complex online instructions.

You can also upgrade to your macOS of choice after the initial installation.

Important Note

Apple machines require a firmware update (boot ROM version) to detect NVMe SSDs. Performing an install/upgrade to at least High Sierra 10.13.1 prior to installing the M13 will update the necessary firmware.

If you do not have a functioning drive to perform this update, we have available firmware upgrade rental kits.

M13 Standard or M13 Turbo?

The difference is performance. The Turbo achieves 2x max seq read/write speeds, best for mixed use, and does not slow down at 50% capacity

    2015 iMac 5k Retina 17.1 UpgradeWhen I originally bought the iMac it had a fusion drive that wasn't setup. Basically one 25gb nvme and a 1 tb 7200rpm hdd. After about a year I built the fusion drive and reinstalled Mac OS. While it helped boost the startup of the Mac, it certainly didn't help with medium to large transfers of files. After all a hdd is still an hdd. I've almost pulled the trigger on the OWC hdd replacement ssd more times than I could count and sure am glad I waited. Fusion...

    CANT INSTALL MAC OS MONTEREYi have the same issue !! has it been resolved ???? Got a 2 TB drive half a year ago. No problems, all cool. Tried to update to 'macOS Monterey' last night -- was not possible. That Feather SSD is not in the 'allowed list' the Apple installer checks. The error tells me that I have a very outdated driver installed. The driver, though, is updated with an OS update -- but here that does never happen, as Apple macOS Monterey does not allow the install on that SSD.

    ExcellentWe have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) Today is Sunday July 25th, 2021. Just installed the 1TB M13 Turbo SSD. We are flowing now. No delays. Our Mac is brand new again. REALLY FAST! NO LAGS! Feels great to download whatever you want, sync your photos and videos and everything. Because storage is no longer an issue. We are finally running on macOS Big Sur! We are very happy with the performance. Removing the base screws, and then removing that single screw holding the old SSD...
