Are you feeling like your Mac is a little sluggish lately?
Is it struggling to keep up with your workload or the latest software updates? If so then you may need to UPGRADE YOUR SSD or NAND of your MacBook,
Making a NAND upgrade an attractive solution.
NAND flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage that retains data even when the power is turned off. It’s commonly used in solid-state drives (SSDs) to store your operating system
Transparent Pricing: Get a detailed quote before committing to the service. This should include parts
Enhanced Reliability: Newer NAND technology is often more reliable and faster than older models allowing you to keep more applications and files without worrying about deleting old data.
Increased Storage Capacity: If you’re running out of space a NAND upgrade can provide additional storage and ensure that everything is functioning correctly. Check your storage capacity and run a few applications to see the performance boost.
Cost-Effective: Instead of purchasing a new Mac reducing boot times and speeding up file access.
Chip-level storage upgrades for MacBooks with soldered SSDs
MacBook Air and Pro models from 2016 onwards (and all Apple-silicon machines) have their storage soldered to the logic board, so a 128 GB or 256 GB Mac can’t be upgraded by swapping a drive. We upgrade these at chip level: the NAND storage chips are replaced with higher-capacity ones, the configuration is re-programmed and macOS is reinstalled, with your data migrated back.
This is specialist micro-soldering work done in-house, not sent away, and it is often a fraction of the cost of a new Mac with the same storage. Typical upgrades take 256 GB to 1 TB or 2 TB. Older 2012–2015 MacBooks with removable blade SSDs are a simpler same-day swap – see the SSD upgrade page.
Text us the model and year (Apple menu → About This Mac) and we will tell you what capacities are possible and the price.

Frequently asked questions
Which MacBooks can have their storage upgraded?
Removable SSDs: 2012–2015 Air and Pro, same-day swap. Soldered storage: 2016 and later Intel models and Apple-silicon models, chip-level upgrade after a check of the specific board.
Is my data kept?
Yes – we image the Mac first and migrate everything back onto the new storage.
