Sintech M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card Upgrade Kits,Compatible for MacBook Air(2013-2017 Year) and MacBook PRO（Late 2013-2015 Year,iMac

The procedure are used was slightly different than the method shown in instructions. This is because I originally purchased a Voila Reve adapter and wanted to try absolutely every option before sending the Voila Reve back. The sun tech works and contains the two screw drivers you need to do the job . I had already purchased a P5 1.2 and T screw drivers to use with the Voila Reve because that one didn’t come with the correct one to open the MacBook Air 2017. I did make a bootable drive on a usb stick and loaded it onto my new P3 crucial (with I first put in an Orico drive enclosure and formatted in disc manager . ) After Monterey running on the P3 drive I used an external timemachine to put the data on the P3. Running the new ssd externally made me confident all was working . I simply put it in the Sintech adapter popped it in machine after disconnecting battery and reconnecting battery afterwards . Don’t forget to ground yourself on a radiator before touching anything inside MacBook . Apologies for any typos here . Phone screen very cracked and can’t see half of screeen…next job

Thankfully this piece of tech meant my mid 2015 MacBook Pro was saved when the original Apple SSD failed. The adapter meant that I could install a new crucial PCIe in place of the old one and once the OS was installed and files transferred from a Time Machine back I was back up and running. Definitely worth the purchase.

This has been in for about a week now and has been working really well and it's nice to have space back again on the MacBook Pro. I tested this against my friends 2017 MacBook Pro and with the Sabrant NVME installed this laptop is now faster than his when using the blackmagic speed test app on the drive. So would recommend this if your needing an upgrade.

Easy to install, came with the tools I would need. Upgraded Mac 13” pro 2015 SSD. Purchased based on people’s recommendations.

Good

It is perfect for me

Worked like a charm, upgraded my MacBook Air using this adapter

So far so good

Clear description, decent quality, decent price, shipped and delivered promptly, works fine.

I used this on my macbook air 2017, with a crucial p1 1TB ssd, works perfectly.

Ho acquistato questo adattatore nvme Sintech per fare un upgrade sul mio Mac del 2015, ormai ultra piantato dopo essermi informato e avendo studiato pro e contro di ogni possibile concorrente, tenendo presente anche un rapporto qualità prezzo adeguato. Il lavoro è stato importante e ha previsto la sostituzione del vecchio hard disk SSD (Blade) nvme M.2 Pci 3.0 x4 (2280) da 24 GB con un SSD Nvme da 2TB Intel 670P Usando questo apposito adattatore (poiché la forma degli Nvme Apple è unica e non si adatta ai normale nvme in commercio) Se avete intenzione di metter mano al vostro Mac verificate prima la serie e la compatibilità dei componenti. questi indicati sono specifici per i Mac del 2015-2017 dal 2017 in poi si possono usare dischi nvme più performanti (su google trovate ulteriori info googlando sostituzione blade mac e consigli sui componenti migliori da scegliere per il vostro Mac da upgradare che troverete poi qui su Amazon ai migliori prezzi) oltre i componenti sopra indicati necessitate di 2 serie di componenti di smontaggio e rimontaggio e una serie di adesivi per il display. Su YouTube trovate tutti i video che vi guidano passo passo all'esecuzione dell'operazione, si raccomanda una adeguata manualità e capacità di mettere mano a componenti elettronici (io sono un tecnico e quindi di queste cose mi occupo nella quotidianità) altrimenti meglio cercare un bravo tecnico che si occupi lui di rianimare il vs Mac. Posso confermare che dopo questa operazione il mio Mac ha ripreso vita, e probabilmente è più veloce di come fosse in origine con la sua piccola memoria M2 da 24 GB e il disco meccanico da 1 TB. Adesso ha 2 TB di disco che gestisce sistema operativo e applicazioni e altri 2 TB su un disco SSD SATA III dove ho messo Windows 10 e anche lui è una scheggia. Considerando che faccio editing anche di file multimediali, la velocità di elaborazione è importante e ora è davvero roba di attimi per ogni operazione anche in multitasking, eseguendo più procedure senza particolari problemi. Il benchmark del disco ha dato risultati di 3.000 MB/s in lettura e 2.800 MB/s in scrittura. Su questo HDD ho installato Monterey OS. il disco PCI 3,0 con la mia configurazione è arrivato a 3.000 MB/s in lettura e 2.900 MB/s in scrittura, con connessione PCI 3.0 negoziata a 8 GT/s, una bomba! (prima del lavoro negoziava 5 GT/s con il disco da 24 GB apple) Sono rimasto davvero soddisfatto di ogni componente utilizzato e con una spesa di neanche 250 euro ho ridato vita a un Mac che altrimenti era praticamente inutilizzabile (sul Mac del 2015 viaggia Monterey OS, la penultima versione supportata per questo Mac) Se avete bisogno di altre info, fate una domanda e vi risponderò volentieri Ho scelto i prodotti più performanti/compatibili per il mio Mac e maggiore vita utile come TBW. Spero la mia esperienza possa essere stata utile, e resto a disposizione per chi avesse bisogno di altre info

In early September 2021, I popped a brand new 2TB Adata XPG SX8200 Pro into the Sintech adapter and the pair into my mid 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro (MacBookPro11,4). The tandem worked beautifully until February 25 when the Adata drive's GUID partition became so corrupted the drive wasn't viewable to macOS. Fortunately I had a backup. In an interesting twist, I used the power-cycle method on the Adata SSD and was able to get it working again. My data couldn't be recovered from the Adata SSD, but I was able to erase and re-format it as an APFS drive again. Even though Adata provided an RMA under warranty if I want to send it in, I flashed my data back to it and am using the Adata drive as-is in the Sintech adapter again. I will follow up with Adata to see if they still want to see this drive as something caused it to fail; it may be the drive is failing, the Sintech adapter is dying, or maybe even the MacBook Pro sent some unkind juice? While the Adata SSD was briefly out of action, I popped a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB into the Sintech adapter. The Samsung SSD seemed to work for about 12 hours, but the next morning the MacBook Pro was booting to the desktop and then automatically restarting on its own. The Samsung SSD was manufactured September 2021 and I tried to patch it with Samsung's latest firmware "Samsung_SSD_970_EVO_Plus_4B2QEXM7.iso", but this file said the Samsung's SSD was already current. Despite this ad saying that the Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB is compatible if running the current firmware, I didn't find this to be true. I also tried the Samsung SSD with another Sintech adapter I have (the stubby one for MacBook Air devices), but it didn't work. After all this happened, I decided to return the Samsung SSD as I seemed to have the Adata device back up and running again. Attached are Blackmagic numbers with the Adata drive and this Sintech adapter. ** Update 5-28-2022 ** I've been having problems with kernel panics and thought I had it figured out until today when I used a 10x loupe to look closer at the board and discovered several pins were lifted off. I will be pursuing warranty options with Amazon and this seller. https://www.schwie.com/brad/?p=1235
