Review: Works in a 2013 27" iMac - There are a few guides out there for installing a PCIe SSD in 2013 vintage 27" iMacs but here's December 2019 report and review that future buyers may find helpful. I successfully installed this adapter on a Late 2013 27" iMac: - iMac 4,2 - 3.4ghz i5 processor; - Standard SATA HDD stock storage (later replaced with a SATA SSD). This iMac never had a PCIe or Fusion drive installed. - Samsung Evo 970 (not Plus) 1TB. Installation requires a full teardown to get to the empty PCIe slot, which is a drag (or a great procrastination project, depending on your attitude). iFixit's guides were invaluable for the job. So was Jon Jacobi's Macworld review from May 6 2019. Read those first. Once I got the iMac fully gutted, the adapter slid right in to the open slot without hassle. The SSD itself comfortably slipped right in to the adapter. FWIW, I didn't experience the slight mis-fit Jacobi reported in his Macworld piece. Once re-assembled, MacOS Mojave immediately recognized the presence of an uninitialized disk and formatted it normally with DiskUtility. Then I used stalwart CarbonCopyCloner to clone my old primary drive SATA drive to the PCIe SSD. I was going to complain that this adapter was missing the necessary screw to hold down the adapter (and SSD) because I had to supply one of my own. But, upon closer inspection post-installation, I see that there *was* actually a screw provided in the anti-static bag and I had simply overlooked it. Argh - my bad. This being a 2013 iMac, I had been warned to keep my performance expectations in check since the 2013 implementation of PCIe only provided 2 or 4 'lanes' with a max of 900mbps or 1.5gpbs, far less than the modern theoretical maximums for PCIe/NVMe drives. This meant I didn't feel compelled to buy the newest or most expensive SSD out there (currently the WD Black drive). But, my super-quick initial testing shows that reads and writes are 2-10X what my SATA SSD was giving, so I'm satisfied. (I realize some performance benefit may also come from the larger capacity of the 1TB PCIe SSD vs my SATA SSD... but still). I don't tinker with Macs for a living, but have a decent toolkit at my disposal and have popped open a Macbook or two in my day. The install procedure took me a total of about 40 minutes. YMMV. Anyway, I can now shove a monster 8TB HDD into the hard drive slot for bulk storage and run the OS and apps from my PCIe SSD without cumbersome external drive enclosures. I won't get full SSD silence, but a good performance/capacity setup all around
Review: MACBOOK PRO 2013-15 SSD ADAPTER - 5 STARS! - This adapter fit and worked PERFECTLY! I used it in a “mid-2014” MacBook Pro 13” Retina, version “MacBookPro 11,1”, model number A1502. It was relatively easy. - at least compared to any later MacBook. Take the bottom plate off the computer (10 tiny proprietary pentalobe screws, IIRC). Take the old, slow, small capacity (in my case, a 128GB) out (one T5 screw). I placed a new 1TB Crucial P2 NVMe SSD in the adapter, firmly clicked the adapter in the slot in the computer, replaced the screw, and screwed the bottom plate back in place. Hardware upgrade complete! The trickier part in some ways is re-initializing the new drive and reinstalling a fresh new operating system. I had planned ahead. I booted from an external USB-3 SSD loaded with various macOS installers - in this case, macOS 11 “Big Sur” is the highest one can install on said machine (without hacks, but that’s another story). After correctly choosing the default (and required) APFS to format the drive, Big Sur installed without a hitch in a few minutes. A few security updates should install after rebooting. Set your preferences and Boom, done! Bottom line: Easy to install if you have patience, steady hands, and some experience working on computers with tiny tools; an external SSD; and basic knowledge of installing operating systems. HUGE savings over an Apple proprietary drive or questionable Chinese knockoff drives using the old interface. P.S. Note that there is at least one brand of competing adapter on desertcart for a couple bucks less. I bought one - it didn’t work and it was visibly poorer quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between your shorter adapter plug (b07fyy3h5f) and your longer adapter card (b01cwwaeng)?  which is better for crucial 1tb sdd?**
A: I got the longer one and it does allow for airflow above and below the card.  Appears to be better for airflow than the shorter one.

**Q: Technically this should support all NON-nvme pcie/m.2 ssd's?**
A: Since the introduction of OS X High Sierra, NVMe has been supported. In fact, our customers use NVMe drives almost exclusively with this adapter today as AHCI based M.2 drives are outdated and harder to come by nowadays. Please note that if you're using this adapter with an NVMe drive, you MUST first install OS X High Sierra on the built-in AHCI drive. The High Sierra installation package will install firmware updates that enable NVMe support!

**Q: Hi, has anyone use it with samsung 970 evo 2TB on 15" macbook pro 2015 mid year (retina)?**
A: yes,many customers used 970 EVO .you can read forum: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/upgrading-2013-2014-macbook-pro-ssd-to-m-2-nvme.2034976/page-65

**Q: Hello, can i receive the stuff tomorrow? i am in 30 rich st, malden. ma. i can drive to anywhere close to boston.**
A: you should ask Amazon service if you choose buy "fullfilled by Amazon" because the shipment was shipped from Amazon warehouse. if you choose "fullfilled by seller" then we will ship from China, it will take longer time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great in 2015 MBP (with no glitches or side effects)
*by N***D on October 21, 2020*

I combined this $16 Sintech card adapter with a 2TB SDD from TopMore for $215... and wow, the upgraded performance results are impressive. No glitches or side effects of any kind. The installation process was straight forward: 1. Make USB install drive from latest MacOS 2. Manual back up original SSD via Time Machine 3. Power down 4. Remove bottom tray with T5 driver/bit 5. Disconnect battery from logic board 6. Remove original SSD* with T5 driver/bit 7. Insert new SSD into Sintech adapter, and install into logic board with Phillips driver/bit 8. Reconnect battery 9. Restore bottom tray with T5 driver/bit 10. Boot from USB to format new SSD and install MacOS 11. Login and use Migration Assistant to restore apps and files from Time Machine It's a relatively simply process that can be done by anyone with any computer experience or even the slightest willingness to learn. There are all kinds of videos on YouTube which show the basics of opening up the laptop for upgrading various components, so you'll have some idea what you're getting into... and you'll see that while it requires great care, it is not difficult. (*In my particular case, I hit a huge problem when I discovered the original SSD was held in by a stripped screw which I could not remove with a driver/bit. After a little trial and error, the only workable solution was to grab a power drill and drill it out. Obviously, I had to take great care with that process, given the consequence of any mistake, but it ultimately removed the stripped screw and allowed me to complete the upgrade. You won't have the problem I encountered, but the story serves the purpose of demonstrating that if I can overcome the disaster of finding a stripped screw inside the machine, then you'll be able to workaround any unexpected hiccups too. Just take your time.)
