Macbook5,1 SSD upgrade

[urbanmichal]

Is there a way to upgrade SSD in Macbook5,1 (Mid 2012, 11 inch)? OWC Aura seems doesn't support this model.

Yes it's one of the best for upgrading because it uses a standard msata ssd https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/SSDA2A6G480/

You make a typo? MacBook 5,1 is from 2008. Has a lever switch to open the Hard Drive/Battery compartment. Standard SSD. Easiest to change I've ever seen.

Actually an MBA 5,1 is the 2012 11" model. The very one I have. Recommendation: AVOID OWC LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!

I've had this for 4 months(i have the 960 gig) in my 2012 15" MacBook pro and its been very fast and works great installs easily.
