I just bought a new docking station for my newest MBP and did not buy the OWC for this reason.480GB Solid-state Drive for select 2013 and later Macs Not acceptable in my book and I’m leery about buying anything else from them. To be fair, they had to ship it over a border so that could have caused delays, but in looking at the actual ship dates a lot of the delay was on OWC’s side waiting to send it, waiting to examine it. I emailed them and they just blew me off. This time however their support sucked (IMHO) and it took forever to get the replacement. Up until this I was a huge OWC fan and have purchased several of their drives over the years and their support has always been good. I installed the replacement and it’s now fine so clearly it was the drive.

6 weeks to get the replacement where I was unable to use my machine as needed and do the CAD work I bought the Aura for.

Annoyingly it took another 4 weeks to get the replacement, totalling approx. About a week later I got a ship notice saying it had been sent. I had to fight with them via email until they finally agreed to replace it with a new one. I shipped it with 3 day delivery and after 2 weeks they emailed me saying there was nothing wrong with it. I emailed OWC and they gave me an RMA and said ship it back to be replaced. I pulled the aura and re-installed the Apple SDD and all the “hardware” problems immediately went away. It was slow, all of a sudden started having weird graphics and other crashes (see my previous post on this topic). I had a second MBP and did the same update with a second aura pro and it’s was F-ed from the beginning. I updated one of my MacBook Pros and it was okay, easy install, worked great, no issues.
