You can also purchase a complete SSD upgrade kit, which includes the OWC SSD, screwdrivers, a USB standard A to micro B cable and an external PCIe SSD enclosure with USB 3.0 port for $399 (480GB model) or $649 (1TB model). The OWC Aura PCIe SSDs for MacBook Pro Retina laptops come in 480GB capacity for $348 ( retail price) and 1TB capacity for about $428 ( retail price).
