In this video I will be showing you how to replace the storage drive in your MacBook Air or Pro Retina for much cheaper by using any regular M.2 SATA Solid State Drive. This Will only work on Macbook Air and Pro Retina models that use the SATA III interface for storage.

For MacBook Air and Pro Retina 2013 -2015:

Note: I have not yet personally tried the adapter for the PCie models as they are quite new from 2017. I will try the adapter and make a video when I do, but I have been messaged by a few users saying they tried it and it worked.

Or if you have a newer MacBook you can go with these option that I know work for sure.
