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

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

worked great and came quickly! using with 970 evo plus 2 tb in my Mid-2015 15” Macbook Pro. make sure you get that firm click of the SSD into the adapter but dont push too hard.

Arrive quickly, came with tools & easy to install, and my 2017 Macbook Air is working great. I'm extremely happy with this purchase.

Este articulo no vale medio no funciona lo prove en varios puertos en distintas pc y no funciona .

Looks to work perfectly. Must install Mojave or higher to work

Works well with 2017 imac with fusion drive.

I have a 15” MacBook Pro A1398 Mid-2014. Came with all of the tools. Installation was fine. Installed a fresh copy of Catalina. High Sierra and anything after will update the Boomrom to support the NVMe connection BUT two huge problems I’m facing currently:1. It does not sleep or hibernate. It stays awake after pressing the power button and after closing the clamshell.2. I noticed it’s much hotter than normal (when not running anything at all) and noisier3. Upgrading from the OEM Apple 256GB SSD, my speeds went from 650 MB/s read and write to only 1,300 MB/s read and write. I say only because I upgraded to the best NVMe SSD I can find...Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB. I’m only achieving 1,300 MB/s because of the lack of enough lanes since my MacBook Pro is not equipped with PCIe 3.0, which supports a max link speed of 8.0 GT/s like on the MacBook Pro 2015 models...as opposed to the max link speed of only 5.0 GT/s I’m receiving on my 2014 MacBook Pro due to the inferiority of the PCIe bus equipped on my MBPs logic board.Attention seller: how do I resolve the sleep/wake/hibernation issue? What settings should I apply? Can I patch my bootrom to support sleep/wake on NVMe like the 2015 models? Please reply. I’m not satisfied with these results because my battery will be drained at an accelerated rate and I do not like this issue of overheating that this methodology has introduced my MBP to.

Installed with a new SK hynix Gold P31 PCIe NVMe as a secondary drive (into a late 2013 21.5" iMac, 2638) upon power up it went into a boot loop and no reset or recovery efforts would work (It would restart before you could get into disk recovery!).I removed it from the iMac and it booted up normally.I removed it, clean the contacts on both the SSD and the adapter card, and reinstalled it to no avail.Bottom line this thing doesn't work
