I got my 27in (2015) iMac upgrade kit on Thursday at 12 :30 PM. Every thing I needed to instal a 2TB SSD that was also included in the kit. All installed and working in less then two hours, Brilliant thank you for saving my Mac and me,

My 2017 imac was annoyingly slow, due to the 5400 rpm harddrive, so I purchased the ram upgrade to 32 gb, combined it with an internal ssd, and following the excellent owc videos after 4 hours I now have a blazingly fast imac (compared to before). I am very happy and satisfied with the result.

Having seen the excellent online OWC tutorials, I was convinced I could myself perform the upgrade by adding a PCIe 'blade' SSD and replacing the existing HDD (ok but now 7½ yrs old) at the same time. The kit arrived very quickly (overnight from IL, USA to UK). Sadly, after I dismantled the iMac, I discovered the new PCIe card had some damage. These things can happen - what separates great companies from the rest is the way they handle it. My first call was via online Chat on a Saturday - but Monday morning my phone call was answered sympathetically and helpfully - a replacement was dispatched same day and I was sent a label to return the defective one. I watched the online instructional videos several times and referred to it constantly during the actual procedure and took my time throughout. It was all very straightforward and just like in the videos. I was nervous to seal it all up again without a test boot but needed not to have worried - it all just worked (the trait of Apple that has kept me loyal fan). I used a USB drive I'd previously prepared to install a fresh version of Catalina then used a SATA to USB 3 connector onto the old HDD and then used Migration Assistant in Catalina Utilities to restore my apps and data - all faultlessly done (700GB) in under 3 hours. Now everything works properly and my iMac is around 10 times faster than before - and even better than that with some tasks. I think it will be good for the next 7½ years now. One tip to anyone else planning a similar upgrade - buy a BR2032 battery so you can replace that too at the same time while your iMac is insides out (I saw this too late)! Many thanks to all concerned at OWC. The overall experience with OWC was excellent.

Just bought and installed their 480GB Aura Pro X2 SSD for my 2013 27" iMac. Delivery to the UK from Belgium was super-fast - just a couple of days -and the installation video made the task very straightforward. I have bought from OWC before and have always found their kit very high quality and reliable. Designed for Apple computers; it works perfectly. 100% recommended.

If you want to upgrade your Mac in any way this is the web site to view and purchase from . Quality upgrades designed for you Mac and friendly knowledgable customer service . Also fast shipping . Rocket Yard Weekly is a good read !

I bought a SSD for my macbook and it arrived very quick from the UK to the UK. The instructions were good but I was confused over some software that I read should be enabled (trim enabler) so I had to ask for support. They very quickly answered (about 10 mins) and confined that no extra software was required. Very Impressed.

I have been dealing with OWC for years. In particular, I have had many technical discussions regarding peripheral equipment for my Mac computers. This company develops and sells some of it's own equipment (in a similar way to Lee Valley Tools, who have a research lab improving and developing better alternatives to existing woodworking tools) OWC is developing and producing new products to work with the latest Apple hardware - such as their new thunder bolt enclosures/drives. I would be thinking too highly of myself if I thought my bugging them had any influence on this - but that is the way the are - accessible, helpful and willing to listen to customers. A company that answers questions and provides great products at economical prices.
