Hello I've bought MacBook Air for school this year and I was thinking about upgrading storage from 128gb to 512gb. I was thinking about Samsung 960 EVO 500gb. Will I need any adapter or will this ssd fit just right? Also, are there any cheap ssd enclosures so I can keep using my 128gb ssd for external storage? Oct 13, 2009 439 6

No you cannot use that SSD. These MacBooks use proprietary SSD's and I only know of one company that provides them after market: OWC. You can check their website for upgrade info. They may have an enclosure that will work. Oct 13, 2009 439

Can I upgrade my MacBook Air SSD?Once you have configured your MacBook Air (2022), that's it. You can never upgrade it in the future.
Can you use any SSD in a MacBook Air?NOTE: The SSD in the MacBook Air is a special design by Apple and you cannot use standard off the shelf NVMe or SATA M. 2 drives. There a very few that have exact replacements, OWC being one of them.
Is 512GB SSD enough for MacBook Air?Because I never recommend going with the least expensive Apple device model, the 256GB option is out. Therefore, I would suggest that it's best to go with a 512GB MacBook Air (M1, 2020) version for most people.
Which SSD is best for MacBook Air?Currently, the best external Thunderbolt 3 SSD drive for Mac is the Samsung X5 SSD which can read at an amazing 2800 MB/s and write at 2300 MB/s via Thunderbolt 3.
