Our Story:
After a stressful visit to an Apple Genius Bar with a completely full hard drive in my MacBook Air, I simply needed a way to store more files. As someone who uses my MacBook everyday, this solution needed to work without requiring me lug around extra bulk or delete any of my existing files. The only options available were time consuming, expensive or would void my Macbook's warranty. I could not accept the "official answer", that there were no easy ways to upgrade the hard drive in a MacBook.
For newer MacBook models (Released Late 2013+) there are no current SSD upgrades. People are stuck with what they purchased.
The entry rMBP13" comes with 2.4GHz - 128GB SSD . 4GB of onboard memory. It is configurable to 256GB (But only at the time of purchase).
TarDisk 256 can change all of this! By offering a tool-free upgrade that doubles (or even triples) the onboard storage of your Macbook by adding up to 256GB of extra space.
We Love MacBooks and we built TarDisk to Match:
The unibody MacBook is carved from a single aluminum block with precision CNC lathes that specialize in making aerospace and medical components. at the center of this unibody aluminum enclosure sits apple’s “entirely flash-based architecture that makes everything you do incredibly fast and responsive.”*
At TarDisk we set out to do match this level of perfection. Each TarDisk is carved from a single aluminum block with precision CNC lathes that specialize in making aerospace and medical components. At the center of TarDisk’s uni-body design sits our 256GB Flash storage chip built from with industry leading flash controllers, creating incredibly fast, responsive storage. Better still this sits flush inside your MacBook!
TarDisk is the first and only tool-free upgrade that doubles (or even triples) the onboard storage of your Macbook. TarDisk adds 256GB of extra space while sitting perfectly flush in your MacBooks SD port.
Small doesn’t mean slow TarDisk leverages your high-bandwidth PCIe bus connection to directly transfer data to your system when needed out performing a 7200RPM External USB Hard Drive.
