Mac Specs > By Capability > Mac Storage Upgrades > MacBook Air Models

Storage info for each MacBook Air — details on speed, dimensions, and hard drive and SSD interface specifics — is listed below along with common identifiers suitable to identify a MacBook Air in order to determine which hard drives and SSDs are compatible.

Note that MacBook Air models released in 2018 and later cannot have the internal storage upgraded at all after purchase.

If you are not sure which MacBook Air you have, and the Model Identifier and EMC Number below are not sufficient for identification, you also may look it up with other identifiers -- including its Serial Number -- with EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup feature. If you need more help, refer to Mac Identification.
