Sintech NGFF M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter Card For Upgrade SSD MZ-JPU128T SD6PQ4M-128G of 2013 2014 2015 MacBook

Worked as expected. Used Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe 4.0 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD , which is not listed in compatible SSDs List but worked flawlessly. Read and write speed increased from earlier (doubled) but not reached maximum that the SSD offers (which is obvious).

Worked perfectly well and quite easy to install. The compatibility and installation guide provided on the product page is super helpful. I tried this adapter with a Samsung 980 1TB (MZ-V8V1T0) SSD, and it worked flawlessly. This helped me upgrade to upgrade from 256GB to 1TB. The information and compatibility guide provided on this page is quite useful. I would also suggest to watch some related you tube videos as well.

Excellent product for MacBook pro (A1502) for SSD (Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 500GB) updating. Just follow the procedure/steps to get it done. No problems at all. Thank you amazon delivering ontime.

I have upgraded my Macbook Air 2017 Model A1466 with Samsung 970 EVO plus After fixed the drive when you power on your macbook air question symbols display will be apper Next press power button hold option button Next you get screen connect wifi option after that it have option to download the os. after downloading complete format the disk then install the os. Works Amazing!!!

Working for Macbook Air 2017, Samsung 970 EVO Plus m.2 500 GB, Mojave 10.14.6 But installing was little bit time consuming. By default it was going in Recovery over internet option which took 1 hr. Remember to erase your SSD in recovery mode first (I used APFS Encrypted File System). Also after installing adapter I see many users are used time machine to restore their but i will recommended to install fresh copy by creating bootable mac os. For me i created MAc os big sur bootable usb before installing then chosed installed from usb. THis will improve the performance overall.

Its a good product, the seller dispatched the product before eta. After installing my ssd my macbook keeps crashing whenever i put it in sleep mode don't know why even after i cleared the cache memory

Plug-and-play, with almost perfect fitment If you are using Samsung 970 NVMe EVO Plus 500 GB m.2 SSD, update firmware before format. Without firmware macOS not installed. You do have to initialize the SSD using Disk Utility first, and lay down a GPT format partition table. Then connect your Time Machine disk, and restore to the new drive, or install a new copy of macOS.

I used this with Crucial P1 1000GB M.2 CT1000P1SSD8 on a MacBook Air Early 2015 Model and it worked without any problem. Remember to erase your SSD in recovery mode first (I used APFS Encrypted File System). Then I used Time Machine to restore a backed up system which subverted the need for a fresh MacOS installation.

Ordered two a while ago.. and Amazon didn't ship both. Vendor responded quickly to my complaint and shipped out missing adapter quickly. I couldn't ask for better service. I'm also pretty sure they've added more guidance to the product listing (this Amazon listing) about supported hardware and troubleshooting since my original purchase, so nice to see them continuing to add to their support documentation. I'll waste some of my plentiful shelter-at-home time with installation tips and my detailed experience with these adapters below.. but I'll wrap up the short-version of my review by saying... Bought two already and I'm ordering more to upgrade additional 'retired' iMacs that have come into my office (University IT Support). There's plenty of usefulness in a 2015 17" iMac after it's got a new NVMe drive in it. Long Version... Installation is not trivial, but that's because of how iMacs are designed and assembled. Read a tear-down webpage, take your time and don't force the screen. They're not that hard to crack (I've done it.. and I'm a professional ;-P ). I find, in addition to a plastic cards (old gift card or similar works well).. I like to use an Exacto Knife so carefully slice through the adhesive foam gasket (slowly slice down into gasket in increasingly deep passes, don't jam blade between glass and case). I also like using increasingly thick guitar picks as shims as I work around from top->down sides.. and look for pull-away tabs at outside of bottom gasket section on newer iMacs. Even thought you have to completely gut the iMac's insides to get to the SSD interface on the back of the board, the actual installation of this adapter is easy so I gave it 5-stars. Oh yea, if you don't want to buy a replacement gasket kit.. don't use double-sided tape instead. It's not thick enough to make contact with screen and case. just wrap some tape around outside edge of glass and case. As for how will it works... Pick a supported SSD, avoid the Samsung drives that they warn against using.. and it just works. You can't ask for more. My own results are mixed so far. .but I don't blame Sintech.. and I believe they recently posted a fix for the one issue I'm still having (I'll try today). - 2017 27" iMac: Even though this isn't listed as a supported Model, the adapter works fine in my 2017 iMac. Before upgrade, it was unstable and I noticed some serious errors with the Fusion Drive B-Tree structure, so I pulled both the disk & Apple SSD and upgraded to a FireCuda NVMe drive. Instability persisted but cleared up after I also pulled a pair of 3rd party SO-DIMMs. I suspect both Fusion Drive issues (which Crash Logs pointed to) and a bad pair of SODIMMs both contributed to original problems. iMac runs better than new now (though still short some RAM). - 2015 27" iMac: Again, I replaced a fusion set that was causing problems in this iMac. This iMac also seemed to be having problems with it's Fusion Drive setup prior to upgrading. Installation and clean-install on new drive went flawlessly and iMac worked great.. except it then started crashing when going to sleep. I've since seen new info here on a possible fix so I'll give that a try.. though it'll take me a while to confirm the issue is gone since it was an intermittent problem. No indication that there's a problem with the adapter/drive while the computer is in use though. One thing to note if you plan to replace a Fusion drive set with this... If you use CarbonCopy Cloner (or presumably Disk Utility too) to clone your Fusion drive Volume to a disk image or to your new NVMe drive, it clones the 2-drive Fusion formatting too. You'll end up with two partitions on your single NVMe.. with one staging new & frequently-used data.. and older data getting migrated to the 2nd partition. It'll look like one Drive from the Finder, but I have suspicions that Apple's data staging code is introducing corruption into Fusion Drive's directory B-Tree so best to not introduce this un-needed complexity. Better options... 1. If you've got.an up-to-date TimeMachine backup.. do a clean Mac OS install onto new drive and a data migration from your TimeMachine backup.. or... 2. Get an external USB NVMe adapter or NVMe USB case.. Do an internet recovery (boot w/ Command-R pressed) and install a clean version of MacOS onto the new NVMe drive (usb-connected).. Boot off the NVMe drive and update to latest OS if you need to (I've seen Internet recovery install latest Mac OS release on some Macs, and older versions on others).. Now, do a Data Migration from the Fusion Drive set to the new NVMe. When it's all setup.. then pull the iMac apart and swap the drives. Good luck.. Steve.

Bought this and a Crucial P1 500gb hdd as Amazon indicated they were often bought together, and Crucial P1 was listed on one of the photos. However after spending half a day trying to various ideas to get it to work with the adapter I gave up. Next day bought a Samsung EVO 970 500gb hdd from a local store, as this was one used in a YouTube video demonstrating the setup of the adapter, and it worked immediately.

Aufrüsten meines MacBook Air 2017 hat super funktioniert. Das der Adapter zu dick aufträgt und die Unterseite sich nicht mehr verschließen lässt kann ich nicht bestätigen. Bei mir hat alles gepasst. Ebenso die Passgenauigkeit der Schraubenbohrung. Vielleicht wurde hier aufgrund der schlechteren Rezessionen nachgebessert. Verwendet wurde ein aktueller Crucial P3 1TB MacBook Air 2017 (MacOS Monterey) Boot Stick mit MacOS Mojave, erstellt mit Windows. Festplatte musste nach dem Bootvorgang über das Festplattendienstprogramm lediglich formatiert werden und war dann auch verwendbar für die Installation. Alles machbar für jemanden der sich mit so etwas eigentlich nicht auskennt.

this product is great for upgrading Mac. it definitely and Affordable option to upgrade my Mac.

It came with clear instructions and was easy to install in my late 2015 Mb-Pro. I purchased a Samsung 1TB NVME 980 to install, I know it's a bit slower that the 970 Evo Plus but you'll be hitting the bandwidth limit of the MacBook way before you hit the limit of these SSD, it uses less power so the battery will last longer, it has better reliability and it was £10 cheaper. I also chose Samsung because I've had bad experiences with other manufactures of SSDs in the past and the original Mac drive was Samsung. I don't think the adapter actually has any electronics in it? I looks like it's just remapping the pins to the correct locations so drive compatibility will probably be the same across all adapters... but I could be wrong. If you click the SSD into the adapter properly and then into the MacBook with a bit of confidence, everything fits perfectly. I used the supplied Sintech screw to hold them in place, then I put the OEM screw with the OEM SSD and packed them into the box for safe keeping. I went down the route of making a Monterey bootable USB following Apples instructions, it was simple enough to do and worth doing before your new drive arrives. If your OEM SSD has actually died, hopefully you have a time machine backup or you'll have make the USB with another Mac or ask a friend. You will need a pentalobe screwdriver bit, I think it was P5. This will be included in an iFixit kit or similar, I think the SSD screw was a Torx? It looked like a P6 but neither of the pentalobe bits fitted so I used a T4. I hope Monterey will see me through for a few more years before Adobe drops support like they did for Catalina, this laptop still has a good spec with great performance so it would be a real shame if I was forced to move on.
