Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card for Upgrade MacBook Air(2013-2016 Year) and MacBook PRO(Late 2013-2015 Year)

I could not be happier. Using this adapter, fit and alignment for a NVME SSD installed in a late 2012 iMac 27" 5k are absolutely perfect. The drive itself is functioning beautifully, and with a RAM upgrade at the same time, this has to be the most noticeable computer upgrade I've done. Thanks to this awesome, high quality, reasonably priced little adapter, I was able to choose the SSD I prefer, instead of being stuck with an overpriced unit from Out of Their Mind Computing. While I can only confirm for my model mac, I do believe you can well trust the manufacturer's claims for compatibility with this adapter. Excellent product, worthy of its many word of mouth recommendations, found in forums across the net. I did not have to upgrade the firmware on the 970 EVO Plus. Also, I did not have to use a MacOS installer disk. With the SSD in an enclosure (Plugable brand,) I booted into Internet Recovery by holding CMD + OPT + R while cold booting the computer. Used Disk Utility to format the SSD with APFS (whoops, just realized I forgot to over provision,) then chose to install MacOS, and selected the SSD as the target drive. After install, the computer booted from the SSD, and prompted me to restore files from one of three sources. I chose to use my Time Machine backup. Files, apps, etc. restored without issue, and I shut down the Mac. I tore down the Mac and found the drive bay/slot on the back of the logic board. The SSD clicked reassuringly into the quality adapter, which in turn, clicked nicely into the drive bay on the logic board. I immediately eyeballed the alignment with the screw hole. Absolutely perfect, and I mean perfect. After reassembling, the computer booted up from the SSD without issue, presenting me with my familiar setup, but now with startling speed, and snappiness. Boot time must be 1/6th the time of booting from the stock 1TB HDD system disk. Everything is astonishingly quicker. Wow. Not sure I would have done this upgrade if I could not choose the drive I wanted, so thanks a heap to the makers of the adapter. If you are using this in a similar iMac 27", be sure to get true OEM adhesive for reassembling the screen. You can find it on Ebay from seller tecknic-lee. Avoid all others, including OWC and ifixit. There are too many sad stories of screens falling and breaking, anywhere between one week, and 9 months after the reinstall. In only one case did I read of OWC taking responsibility, and making the user whole again. Even if they did it in every case, nobody wants to go through that. These were folks that properly prepped and applied the adhesive. The problem is that the adhesive strips are too thin. The good stuff has thin foam core, and does not stretch, just like the factory stuff you cut through to disassemble. Cheers

The Sintech NGFF M.2 NVMe SSD adapter is an absolute game-changer. I used it to upgrade my MacBook Pro with a modern NVMe SSD, and the performance boost was incredible—faster boot times, quicker file transfers, and overall snappier performance. Installation was straightforward, and the adapter fit perfectly inside the laptop. The build quality is solid, and it works flawlessly without any compatibility issues. I also appreciate that it allows me to use high-capacity, affordable M.2 drives instead of expensive proprietary Apple SSDs. If you want to extend the life of your older MacBook Pro and give it a serious speed boost, this adapter is a must-have. Highly recommended!

An easy way to upgrade the hard drive in your old MacBook Pro. I used it in a 2015 Retina. It was plug and play for the new drive

put this in a 2013 mac pro trashcan. works well! sees the nvme drive no issue

Worked great imac 2015 no longer has a 256 slave, now has a terabyte M.2 nVME drive!!!

SO after hours of troubleshooting and finally getting the drive to be recognized and installing a new copy of OSX on my MacBook Pro (15" 2015 model) I have a few pros and cons about what makes this adapter both good and bad. PROS: -Cheap -Simple plug and play -Instructions included (mostly, not including how to install OSX on the new drive) CONS: -A LOT OF TROUBLESHOOTING. I mean let me tell you when I say 'a lot' I'm talking about opening the bottom, swapping SSDs, and restarting my laptop for 4 hours straight attempting to get the drive to be recognized. MAKE SURE YOU JAM THAT MF into the M.2 slot tight or the Disk Utility and Install OSX options will NOT find the drive and won't allow you to reformat. -Cheap packaging but that's what I should expect for $15 to be fair. -Oh boy don't even get me started on the transfer speed bottlenecking this little guy does. Takes a super fast 2GB/s write/read speeds and throttles it to a measly 12-30MB/s MAX. Again, this was to be expected for the price (hence why everyone looks for an adapted instead of buying some overpriced apple certified SSD) but still very misleading to not place the product transfer speed limitations in the product description. Almost half tempted to return due to incompetent lack of product specifications. -Multitasking as well is nearly impossible. Now by this i don't mean you can't have more than one program at a time (that would be a CPU/RAM limitation on your laptops side, not the adapter) however, when you are transferring files, and saving another file, and downloading something (when the disk is being written from multiple points basically) the drive will freeze up all programs except for one. SO a little warning, only use one program that writes to the drive at a time. However, at the end of the day the adapter works, my laptop works, the drive works, I'm happy. Good buy for the price.

Works great, minimal packaging small sealed ESD pack with info card. Added a standard M.2 2280 NVMe and reused the screw from the OEM drive. Achieved the speeds expected for the drive. Highly recommend for anyone experiencing a slow or sluggish older mac and wanting to place a more common easy to find NVMe that can always be reused once your MBP finally kills over.

No he tenido problemas graves hasta la fecha, por eso le puse 5 estrellas porque no se si los pequeños problemas que he tenido se deben al modelo de SSD que elegí o al adaptador: Yo lo empareje a un MP510 de corsair de 250 GB y una Macbook Pro early 2015. Pros: * Es estable. * Me permitio ejecutar bootcamp a pesar de que he leido comentarios de que no se puede, quizas se deba al ssd que elijas y no al adaptador como tal. * Tambien he leido que segun no se puede hibernar o cerrar la tapa pero yo lo hago e inclusive he dejado la mac con la tapa cerrada un dia o dos y sigue exactamente igual como la deje. Contras: * La rapidez es aceptable aunque varia un poco, a veces dice que tengo cierta velocidad a veces va un poco mas lento pero nunca tanto como para que se atore la pc o lo notes. * Lo he tenido durante meses yo diria que como un año y en contadas ocaciones (como 3 o 4) se me ha reiniciado de la nada la macbook, desconozco si quizas esto es por el ssd.

Utilizzato per aggiornare un SSD su MacBook Pro early 2015 con un WD black 2T dopo aver letto vari forum che consigliavano questo adattatore anziché le controparti più economiche. Operazione piuttosto semplice a patto di avere i giusti cacciaviti, hd riconosciuto subito, lo sto utilizzando da alcune settimane e funziona tutto perfettamente. Magari funzionano anche altri prodotti ma ho preferito non rischiare. Consigliato.

It works well with my MacBook Pro A1502

as described and work without any issue
