💻 Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card for MacBook Air(2013-2016) and MacBook Pro(Late 2013-2015) Upgrade (Black) Review

Good for Mac Pro (2013) users, here are the basics. This adapter is great for the dismal SSD upgrade options that Apple has laid out for its customer base.

Budget. Luckily I stumbled across this adapter, read the reviews and pulled the trigger. I then connected it to a Samsung 970 EVO 500GB SSD…

I bought about 8 Sintech adapters as I often buy and fix Mac hardware. I have tested this adapter on MacBook Air (2013 to 2017) and MacBook Pro Retina (2012 to 2015) and can only say that the adapter works. It's fast, it does the job, but there's a downside.
