That being said, what I’d like to know is if there will be a similar update to the Envoy SSD enclosures as well, and preferably an enclosure with a SATA connector similar to this enclosure for the 2012 MacBook Pro retina SSD: I would then use the stock SSD as an external Windows 8.1 or Linux bootable drive. Performance wise, assuming the OWC SSDs are comparable to the 512GB Samsung SSD, I would definitely be interested in upgrading my 2013 MacBook Air (i7, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) with at least a 256GB upgrade. I know I am a bit late to this thread but I have a couple questions that I’d like answered.
2013 MacBook Air 13-inch with 512GB Samsung PCIe SSD 2013 MacBook Air 11-inch with 128GB SanDisk/Marvell PCIe SSDĢ013 MacBook Air 13-inch with 512GB Samsung PCIe SSD 2013 MacBook Air 11-inch with 128GB SanDisk/Marvell PCIe SSD And that 400MB/s write difference may influence your purchasing decision until we have an upgrade available for these models. UPDATE: OWC Now Offers SSD Upgrades for 2013-Current MacBook Air & MacBook Pro with Retina display models and OWC Reveals Apple Boot Camp Support for SSDsĪs evidenced by the following benchmarks, the performance difference is huge. It is our assumption that the write performance is mainly due to NAND densities and not brand performance in these cases, but we’ll know more once we can run the same tests on a few more models. The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD as our 11-inch model was configured.
In the meantime, we have noticed a vast difference in write speeds between the two SSD offerings that we’ve received so far. The SSD form factor has indeed changed as Apple is the first to adopt and incorporate PCIe storage, but rest assured we are working hard and fast to get you the upgrades you’ve come to rely on from OWC. We’ve received two models of the new MacBook Air yesterday and have started some of our initial testing on the machines.
