Review on NGFF M.2 NVMe SSD Convert Adapter Card: Upgrading MacBook Air 2013-2017 & Mac Pro Retina 2013-2015 by Nathan Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

great price and great work MBP 15 I7 2015 Speed ​​increase from 1800Mbps to 2500Mbps

dared this unit as last time I used a synthesizer more than twice the price . Pair that with a 1TB black WD sn750 gen3x4 SSD. the writing speed increased from 1800 Mbit/s to 2500 Mbit/s and the recording speed from 1400 Mbit/s to 2100 Mbit/s. Since 2015 I haven't had to worry about hibernation issues and it still works like a champ. I'll try this again later on a 2014 model and see where it takes me. mbp 2015 has PCIe with Gen 3 with 4 lanes while 2013-2014 has Gen3 with 2 lanes, so 2015 is literally 2x faster in read and write speed than 2013-2014. Just use your own performance gain numbers. To measure performance, I used the Blackmagic Drive Speed Test from the App Store. Don't forget to create your own bootable USB stick when installing your new NVME SSD to speed up the installation process.

Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
