This is awesome! been looking for a way to upgrade for so long!
I’ve been waiting for this for a while. Looks really easy.
But does the Mac consider is an external hard drive or internal?
+Dan Clayton It should be shown as an internal drive 🙂
+AppleStuffTutorials it shows it a external thats why u cant install boot
camp on it
i need more memory ram ist possible
+Pablo Pelaez The RAM is only upgradable on MacBook Pros from Mid 2012 or
earlier. On later models the memory is non-removable.
You can find a full list here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201165
Is it as fast as the ones from Apple?
+Youssef Amount Check the link in the description where there are
comparisons between the read and write speeds 🙂
Is the owc drive pci-e based?
+Nahid Islam Yes, it is 🙂
So, the performances should be the same as my 2015 MacBook Pro?
+Nahid Islam You can find the (theoretical) read and write speeds here:

that macbook pro need to be cleaned #PoorMacBookPro
Finally! Thanks Jeff
Will it void warranty? Is it same price if you just buy it preinstalled
from Apple?
No samsung 950 pro?
Benjamin you forgot to ground yourself… ESD bro… otherwise you can
short the MLB
you should have noted that you can mirror your existing SSD instead of
reinstalling everything :D
Mac customization? What’s next? Mac Gaming Masterrace?
Anyone know a alternative for around 180-200 dollars?
Would this work

?
+Dylan Thabest No.
Apple uses special a M.2 type, its one of these ore a original OEM one
which is more pricey.I do wish they allowed faster cheap ones like the one
you linked.
+Daniel Snook I spent $350 on a 512gb apple ssd for my MacBook pro. Only
$10 more than the 512gb 950 pro I bought for my desktop.
The pro is a lot faster
what is the speed at blackmagic?
How do I know if this will work with my model Macbook pro? I have an early
2015 retina model.
I’m test write/read = 326/382 MB/s by blackmagic application. T_T
+Chinnawat Khuentanta /on which Apple computer did you do the improvement
on.
