Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great on my 2015 13.3 " MacBook Pro!

I replaced the 128GB Apple PCIe SSD in my 2015 13.3" MacBook Pro with this 1TB PCIe -SSD replaced. If you're mechanically capable of taking things apart and putting them back together without leaving extra screws, it's pretty easy. If you don't understand the mechanics, ask someone who does. If you damage your MacBook by doing removing an old SSD and installing a new SSD will make you cry. This is a warning: removing the screws from the back of the 2015 13.3" MacBook Pro was easy if you had the right tools. Pay attention to the Position of the screws as the length of two is different from the length of the other Remove the screw that secures the PCIe SSD and gently pull out the original SSD Reverse the steps to Install a new PCIe SSD and hold Command + Option + R while booting to start an online recovery for the new macOS. Then answer the questions about installing macOS and continue with the installation. In terms of performance, PCIe might not be as fast as Apple-branded PCIe, but it's still very fast. If you want the Apple brand quickly, you have to pay a whistler. If you want to be as fast as your budget allows, you need this DATARAM PCIe SSD! Delivery was quick including assembly instructions and all said and done I am very happy with my results. For my everyday use, video editing with Premier and After Effects, the performance is pretty good. I would happily buy it again, thanks DATARAM!
