Why this part gets replaced
A drive gets replaced for one of two very different reasons: it has failed, or it is simply too slow or too small. A failing mechanical drive usually gives warning first, with clicking, long freezes, or files that will not open. If you are seeing those signs, stop using the machine, because every extra hour powered on reduces what can be recovered.
Making sure it is the right one
Match the physical form factor and the interface: 2.5in SATA, M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe all look different and are not interchangeable. An M.2 slot that is keyed for SATA will physically accept an NVMe drive that then will not be detected.
What fitting it involves
Fitting the drive is the easy part. Getting your data across is the job, and the order matters: clone or back up BEFORE removing the old drive, never after. Swapping a mechanical drive for an SSD is still the single biggest speed improvement available on an older machine.

Before you buy
Will this drive fit my machine?
Match the part number printed on your existing unit to OSC-696. Apple and most laptop makers used several different parts in the same chassis and across left/right positions, so the model number of the laptop alone is not enough — go by the part number.
What condition is it in?
Used. Every photo on this page is of the actual item you receive, not a stock image.
Is there a warranty?
Working units carry a 30-day store warranty. Items sold as-is or for parts are not covered — the listing says which.
Can I pick it up instead of paying shipping?
Yes. We are at 816 Franklin St A, Anthony, TX 79821. Call (915) 886-7098 and we will have it at the counter.
