[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1923096, member: 56379"] Wanted to mention you're not upgrading the ROM...and ROM is not related to this subject. You're upgrading the MacBook Air's internal storage.:) As far as being able to use the "Blade SSD" mentioned in post #1...the answer is yes & no. Apple Blade SSD's use a proprietary PIN configuration...thus cannot use this Crucial Blade SSD directly. With the proper adapter...it can be used. [U]Please check out this article I wrote on this specific topic:[/U] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mac-forums.com/blog/upgrade-2013-2017-apple-notebook-laptop-storage-on-the-cheap/[/URL] HTH, Nick p.s. By the way in case didn't know. You could purchase a Blade SSD with the proper Apple PIN configuration...but cost is much higher than the Crucial Blade SSD + adapter. [/QUOTE]
