Taiwanese firm, Photofast, had been requested by Apple to stop production of its SSD upgrade kit for the latest MacBook Air laptops. Last week, Apple contacted with the company and requested them to stop the production.
Photofast released the SSD upgrade kits last month. It offered 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage options and they were the first SSD upgrade kits to be launched in the market. The best thing about these upgrades is that they would fit into the cheaper 11.6-inch MacBook Air that comes with 64GB and 128GB option.
The Photofast SSD upgrade kit also increases performance by 30 percent with 250MB/sec sequential read/write speed and 50MB/sec random read/write speed.
Another great thing about the SSD upgrade kit is that it converts the replaced MacBook Air SSD into a USB storage device. The upgrade has a USB 3.0 adapter allowing the user to keep its old SSD.
Apple did not reveal the reason behind this halt but Photofast did not violate any regulations. The SSD upgrade uses standard mSATA connector that are also found in Toshiba SSDs used by Apple.
Photofast has nothing to do but oblige to Apple’s request for it is under MFi Accessories program that allows the company to produce accessories for Apple products. It would lose its license for not complying to Apple’s request.
