Sintech M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter Card for Upgrade 2016 2017 13" MacBook PRO A1708 Non-Touch Bar Models(Only For Late 2016-Mid 2017 Year)

Lo utilice un un disco duro Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2242 OJO: No lo detecta si tratas de reinstalar mac desde el recovery y tiene preinstalado Mac OS Sierra. Asi que lo mas recomendable es que tengas un usb booteable con Big Sur. Los drivers para que detecten estos adaptadores vienen desde High Sierra en adelante. Funciona muy rapido y sin ningun problema.

Funziona per il Macbook Pro 2017 (A1708) con SSD Samsung 970 EVO Plus da 1TB. Installazione sistema operativo tramite boot USB di Catalina OS.

Bought this to increase the storage in my macbook at a reasonable cost. Took 15 minutes total to fit it, I put in a full-sized 2280 Micron SSD and no problems. Now got 1tb of space and speeds of 2800mbps read/write, rocket fast. Insulate the SSD with tape on both sides to avoid problems

I've just installed this adapter in my 2017 Function-key MBP using a 1 TB NVMe drive, to replace a failing 256 GB original SSD. My choice of drive is a Sabrent 2242 drive which is double-sided and fits just fine. I appreciate that a small set of instructions are included to ensure that the minimum OS of 10.14/MacOs Mojave is installed, and to encourage the use of Time Machine as a backup first. From a setup perspective, I did not know I had to format the NVMe to a GUID Partition to be able to install MacOs on it, but that's easy to look into once you know about it. There are known issues with these adapters (slower startup time from shutdown, higher battery use compared to the original SSD when in sleep mode). The first issue isn't too noticeable and is not a detractor for me, but software online is available to solve the second. In terms of performance (that's more the NVMe drive rather than the adapter itself though) in benchmarks I am seeing better read performance overall (~14%) and slightly worse write performance (~4%). I've only had this adapter in my laptop less than a day, but the preliminary experience is as I expected. If anything comes up in the future that's a problem with the adapter, I'll try to update the review.

Works great on the MacBookPro 2017, put in a small 2230 size ssd, speed is great. Original apple model does not work with all the MBP models. This adapter worked where the "original" was not seen. A bit tall, sanded the sharp M.2 plastic edges. Also the motherboard is flexible in that area so the bottom cover touches a bit the M.2 socket but no big deal.
