I’m plan to buy 2nd hand MBPr 2015 from someone. Prices is cheap. But it has 128GB ssd. I think about to upgrade. Samsung 950 pro is interesting. But i’m not sure it can use for this model. I’m google. So many question but not find case like this. I found that apple use custom ssd, i found samsung 950 size is 22x80mm, apple support NVMe in 10.10.3 But don’t find someone test or use it
The SSD slot in that Macbook pro is not m.2. So it won’t fit.
What Ben said is true, Samsung Pro 950 cannot be used in a 2015 Retina MBP. However this will work. You can install the new drive and sell the old one to recoup some of the cost.
You can buy an adapter from M.2 to MBPr or Air for about $20… http://eshop.sintech.cn/storage-adapter-… The REAL question is if the NVMe protocol will be a hiccup (as in, I don’t personally know that answer) … and if it’ll get the full speed of the 950. In principle, I don’t see why it wouldn’t. And I WILL be testing this out.
Samsung drives use a 512 block size for NVME and Apple only support 4096 block size so buy one of those (like the OCZ RD400) and it works on a hackintosh with no patching, and if you get the correct adaptor it might work in a MacBook Pro too. There is a lot of misinformation about Apple only supporting NVME in the upcoming High Sierra but that is not accurate.
Some happy updates with new High Sierra https://apple.stackexchange.com/question…
