Happy Mac...Happy Life
Your MacBook Pro’s factory SSD has served you well. But today’s apps and OS updates require more install space. Video and photo resolutions are increasing, making files bigger. By the time you toss in your music, emails, and other aspects of daily digital life, your drive is nearly full…or will be soon. You’re left with two undesirable choices: deleting older files so you don’t max out your drive’s capacity or replacing your trusty machine.
The best choice for your MacBook Pro is a bigger SSD. Aura Pro NT is the perfect choice, it is a high-performance SSD that will keep your Mac running for years without the cost of buying a new Macbook pro!

You bought the Porsche of computers
Using an external drive or cloud storage will make performance suffer. It will have lower throughput, higher latency, and misplaced files. The Aura Pro NT makes your MacBook Pro work for you… not the other way around. It puts all your Lightroom catalogs, audio sample libraries, 4K video footage, and games at your fingertips for immediate access with consistently incredible performance.

How to upgrade with a Aura Pro NT
Quick answer: the upgrade is relatively easy. Shut down your Macbook Pro. Remove the old SSD (we provide tools and instructions). Install new SSD. Plug in Time Machine. Restart the Macbook Pro holding down the "option" key. When OS Utilities page appears, use Disk Utilities to erase the SSD as APFS. Then restore from Time Machine.
What if I don't have a Time Machine? We have a "solution" version that includes an external hard drive to create a Time Machine before you install the SSD.
Can I clone on to the new SSD? No. The SSD is proprietary and there is no way to clone on to the new SSD from your Mac.
Is there any other way to clone my data? You can reinstall macOS via restarting your Mac holding down Option + Command + R. That will install Monterey. Use data migration assistant to move data from a Time Machine or a clone on an external hard drive.

How to install a new macOS onto a Aura Pro NT
Quick answer: To get the latest macOS, restarting your Mac holding down Option + Command + R. When OS Utilities page appears, use Disk Utilities to erase the SSD as APFS. Then install macOS Monterey. If you want a different macOS create or buy a macOS USB installer.
Can I clone Big Sur or Monterey macOS? No. Big Sur and Monterey have a new Apple protocol of a Apple signed OS. This means only an Apple signed OS will boot. A cloned OS will not boot. A restore from Time Machine is a signed OS and will boot.

All RAM upgrades supplied by Upgradeable have a lifetime warranty.
Our definition of lifetime warranty is: If the product ceases to work at anytime, you can return it for a replacement. Simple. No if's, no but's. Our RAM will out last your computer. We have had the same warranty since year 2000. It has never varied or been modified. Our competitors have played catch up and matched our warranty but they can never match our service. We don't provide a lifetime warranty as a gimmick, it is a statement on the values of our company, our goal of exceptional customer service and the quality of the products we supply.

SSD warranty (3 to 5 year )
Unlike RAM, an SSD has limited write cycles, so it will eventually wear out. However, it will take 10 years or more to wear out an SSD! Warranty varies from 3 to 5 years, please check the SSDs description. Our faulty SSD return policy is to make it as simple as possible for the customer. We will replace faulty drives as soon as they are returned.

14 Day Money Back Guarantee
Our money back guarantee is about your assurance that our upgrades will make a difference. If is not about how many days, it is about customer service and trust. We have had the same guarantees for 20+ years because they are sustainable. We have had to make some modifications. We now reserve the right to charge a 5% restocking fee. This is because the credit card processing fee is non refundeable to us, which means the bank keeps their charges. A refund costs us 5%.
