5 Comments on OWC Releases New 4.0TB Aura SSD Upgrade for 2013 Mac Pro
However, you are definitely mistaken in your assertions about "a 3 year old laptop" since this article and product line are aimed at the 2013 Mac Pro which is a well know cylindrical shaped desktop not the Mac Book Pro which is a laptop.
Although I only paid ~$200 USD for my 1TB SSD from Sandisk, it was a sale price in or around Black Friday. That is a SATA model though not mSATA, M.2 or PCIe.
