Will this work on Macbook Air 2012? How is the write speed compared to the original SSD?

I'm happy with the SSD, but I don't no the write speed compared with the original, for me is similar.

I put this in my mid-2012 11" Air. I didn't run any benchmark tests. Haven't seen any significant changes in performance in my typical use. I just doubled my SSD and have a neat 128 gig USB 3.0 external drive. Simple install. Excellent instructions. Solid product.

I bought it several months ago for Macbook Air 2012 and it's been working fine so far.

Transcend site shows compatibility chart, which says it will. I'm currently using it in 15" Retina MBP, Mid-2012 and it works perfectly. Very fast drive, and definitely does seem faster than stock drive. Installation was super easy. The only change I noticed (aside from loads of storage space and speed increase) was that the startup/boot screen changed from the typical light gray color to a darker shade of gray. I didn't see that mentioned in instructions or notes, but it definitely changed to a darker gray. Been running happily for a month now, and loving my rMBP as if it was brand new again!

I've replaced hard drives with SSDs in 7 iMacs spanning from late 2010 to 2012 and this worked in all... should be fine.

All the specs say Yes. The Crucial drive comes with a spacer that you will need to make it fit the form factor of the macbook. The 2011 macbooks use serial ATA or SATA connectors, but the SATA III firmware on the drive may not be fully utilized on the macbook (aka you may experience bottlenecking). It should be tons faster than the HDD that comes in the original macbook.

I purchased this item for a 2012 MacBook Pro so I don't know how it will work on MacBook Air. It works great for the Pro.

Works with my Mac Air perfectly fine. I've used both an sd and micro sd without problems.

As far as I know. I interchange use with it with a brand new air and an older MacBook standard...works flawless, no installs or anything

Yes! My main computer is a MacbookPro Retina (mid 2012), and they s reader works really well with it. I haven't measured speeds but never had an issue, transfer have always seemed fast.

I have absolutely no idea how to determine this, sorry! I can only stress that you make sure that it fits, because it does not fit flush with my late-2013 Retina MacBookPro so I do not leave it in there. I benchmarked the card with Blackmagic Disk Speed Test and its nowhere near the speed of the internal Apple SSD drive so its really just extra space for stuff I don't always need, like an archive for app install files (for those that aren't backed up in the App Store), or other files you don't want to eat up your local disk space (read: pr0n). Hope this info helps! :-)

Yes, it works perfectly with my Mac Air, so there should be no problem for other Macs...(though I needed a port extension because the drive needs two ports)I hope I helped!

Yes it will with a simple OS hack in terminal, go to this website to figure out how. http://www.hardturm.ch/luz/2011/10/how-to-make-the-macbook-air-superdrive-work-with-any-mac/

i use mbp retina 2012 late. and i use this ssd. you can use this ssd. i'm live in korea. in korea's apple rule, if i change the ssd, then whole warranty is break. but when my displayport was broken, i changed ssd to apple original, and there was no problem to free repair.

Unfortunately I have no specific experience on Macbook Air models. However, strictly mathematically thinking, I would estimate that the odds are in favor of this being the right adapter. I have used the same adaptor to access many other 1.8" drives coming from laptops of that era.

There are several version of MACBook Pro. But the interface is SATA @6G/s for the HD. THIS IS NOT a full SSD drive but a hybrid. I have 2 in a RAID (non MAC) and they work fine.That is the deciding factor. The new drives are all SSD. See this article to help with what model you have and whether you feel comfortable with dissecting your MAC. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/58220-upgrade-your-macbook-pros-hard-drive-2

Hi Antonio, Thank you for your question. We can confirm that the drive will work in a MacBook Air. Regards, Gaiacom

I don't know MAC/Snow leopard, but it is treated as any other USB storage device.If your mac can handle USB flash drives, or USB external disk drives it should work just fine.This device is Screamingly fast as well as large. transferring data from it via USB 3.0 to an internal SATA solid state drive, it reaches speeds approaching 300MB/sec.This device is also quite expensive (~$300).If your machine can not handle the speed you could buy more storage cheaper.
