FLEANE FM13A 1TB NVME 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-DR23-G17KX

A 1 TB NVME solid-state drive with DIY tools upgrades compatible 2013 to 2017 MacBook Air, Pro and iMac models

  • 1 TB NVMe SSD with read speeds up to 1850 MB/s
  • Write speeds up to 1550 MB/s using 3D TLC NAND
  • Direct-fit upgrade for MacBook Air A1465 A1466 A1466
  • Includes bootable USB installer and screwdrivers for installation
  • Requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later for recognition

Upgrade SSD for 2013–2017 Mac

This 1 TB NVMe drive replaces the original Apple blade SSD in MacBook Air, MacBook Pro Retina and iMac models released between 2013 and 2017. It uses a 1:1 pin-out so no adapter card is required. The kit includes a 16 GB bootable USB installer with macOS Big Sur and two screwdrivers for the back panel and SSD screws. A QR-coded guide walks through the installation steps.

PCIe 3.0 x4 speeds and 1 TB capacity

Sequential reads reach 1850 MB/s and writes reach 1550 MB/s on the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with 3D TLC NAND. The terabyte of space gives ample room for the operating system, applications and large media libraries. Actual throughput varies by host model, so some machines will show lower figures. The drive is pre-loaded with macOS Catalina for immediate boot testing.

Direct replacement for proprietary Apple SSDs

The module fits the exact connector used in the listed MacBook Air, MacBook Pro Retina and iMac models, eliminating the need for third-party adapters. macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later must already be installed so the required EFI firmware update is present; without it the drive will not be recognised. Buyers who need more than 1 TB or who own Macs outside the 2013–2017 window cannot use this kit.

Questions about this item

Will the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVME SSD work in my MacBook Pro A1398 without an adapter?

The 1:1 design matches the original SSD interface so no adapter card is needed for MacBook Pro A1398, A1502, MacBook Air A1465, A1466 or iMac A1418, A1419 models.

How can I verify the drive is recognised after installation?

Install macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later first; the required EFI firmware update lets the Mac detect the NVME SSD in Disk Utility and System Information.

What comes in the box and what must I supply myself?

The package includes a 1 TB NVME SSD pre-loaded with Catalina, a 16 GB USB bootable Big Sur installer and two screwdrivers; you only need a compatible Mac and an internet connection for updates.
