Key Specs
Storage Capacity: 480 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Easy to install even beginners
I installed this into my MBP2011 without any trouble and got remarkable performance improvement. Everything you need like screw, usb interfaces are included in the package, this is very good for beginners like me.
Unfortunately the instructions both in the paper in the package and Transcend web page did not work for me, but I easily found a solution by googling. I reduce one star by this.
