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

I usually get $10 off per item view. But this little guy works so well I thought it might be worth going over here and checking it out anyway. Earlier this year I took one of Revain's "other" M.2 adapters and installed it along with a compatible SSD. in my 2013 i7 MacBook Air. Performance was great, but my poor Mac also suffered from many reported waking issues, even after logging into Terminal to update sleep settings. Fast forward a few months to this little guy. I ended up selling my Air, partly because it was 7 years old, but also because my wife already has one (a 2015 i5) and we don't need two computers. But it only had a 128GB SSD and I knew I'd have to upgrade if we were going to use both of them. So this time I decided to try the JESOT adapter to upgrade their Air with a 1TB SSD (the same Western Digital Black I had installed on my latest Mac). I was expecting some hiccups, including probably having to do the same terminal settings and even then having to deal with some bugs. It's an adapter, so my Mac probably won't work like an OEM, right? no Perfect. I've tested this Mac in all sorts of wake-up scenarios that would choke my other Macs in this case. Read/write speeds are still capped at 1350MB/s (which still holds up against SATA III), but that's the expected limitation of this Mac's legacy PCI interface, not this adapter. I haven't been this excited about a sub-$10 computer component in a long time. Now that I know it works, I'm planning to update my parents' Macs with a similar setup. However, if you want to upgrade your compatible Mac's storage while avoiding the additional Apple/OWC storage fees, use this little guy and a compatible SSD. You never know it's out of stock.
