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

Perfect for upgrading my niece’s 2017 MacBook Pro 13 inch (non-Touch Bar) from 128gb to 512gb. I used this Samsung SSD from Amazon for only $49.00 It was a simple installation. Finished by using a Monterey usb boot drive to do a fresh install of the operating system. Amazon link to Samsung SSD: https://a.co/d/atd4rgS

I had my doubts about buying this item. This review is a year later since I bought it. It is working great I didn't had any issues installing it. Now my 2017 Macbook Pro has a 1TB ssd drive and it is running smooth. I had not experienced any issues after installation.

I was able to use this with Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2242 DRAM-Less Low Power Internal High Performance SSD (SB-1342-1TB) (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XVTRFF8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details), which is a two-sided drive. I have to upgrade the MacOS to Monterey, before copying the drive, because the older Catalina OS did not recognize the drive once installed when I tried the first time.

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.

Bought a brand new Sabrent 512Gb NVMe PCIeM.2 2242 SSD and used it with the adpater. So far the SSD is not being recognised. No way to contact the seller so posting here hoping for a solution or returning itEDIT: Never heard from the seller, but a local IT shop helped me. Depending on the system of MacOS you are running, the drive is not detected and you need to boot in target mode and have the drive formatted before being able to boot on it

I was overjoyed to finally have the chance to upgrade my 2017 MBP 256gb drive to a 2tb, I bought this adapter and the Sabrent rocket. Everything installed and worked great except the laptop would not sleep properly. When I had the laptop unplugged and shut my battery went from 100% charge to 37% in less than 24 hours with no use. Very disappointed, not sure if I want to spend the money on an used Apple branded own drive. I really hate Apple now.

I don’t know if anyone knows this but with Catalina and Big Sur, there’s a huge change in the OS with hard drive format and file system and other OS stuff. If your own installation or upgrade from your PC isn’t perfect, the provided software from Apple App Store to make a bootable OS is useless. I ended up buying a new drive pre-installed with a pristine and perfect OS from a “place”. Not to say this product won’t work. I did use this adapter with a Samsung drive and it worked, I just couldn’t get the OS to install on the drive because my own update via Apple from Catalina or Big Sur was a mess (even though it runs). Not criticizing this product, just cautioning.
