Hibernation has no issues so far on macOS 10.15.7, the external icon is easely fixed with Innie.kext. Macbook Air 2012 (tried on 11 inch model) has a mixed connector which can use both SATA (stock one) and PCIe x2 (NVMe) drives, thus it is possible to gain 800+ MB/s (WD SN550) with an NVMe SSD and the right adapter for it. The PCIe M.2 format looks very similar to the SATA M.2 format but it won't work. They are definitely not compatible with M.2 PCIe SSD. These two models above come with a M.2 AHCI SATA SSD and use a SATA interface.

MacBook Pro Retina 15" mid 2015 (MacBookPro11,4-11,5)Ģ - Which Mac laptops CANNOT be upgraded with NVMe SSDs?. MacBook Pro Retina 13" early 2015 (MacBookPro12,1). They do both natively support hibernation on NVMe SSD The early 2015 Retina 13" supports 4x lanes PCIe 2.0 speed. The Retina 15" mid 2015 supports 4x lanes PCIe 3.0 speed eg. They both supports up to 4TB NVMe SSD if their BootRom is at least MBP121. The 2015 MacBookPro retina 13" and 15" models originally shipped with 4x lanes PCIe 2.0 AHCI SSDs. MacBook Pro Retina 13" mid 2014 (MacBookPro11,1). MacBook Pro Retina 15" late 2013 (MacBookPro11,2 & MacBookPro11,3). MacBook Pro Retina 13" late 2013 (MacBookPro11,1). 0142.B00 (for 15" models) and will make them run at PCIe 2.0 speed with up to 4x lanes. They support up to 4TB NVMe SSDs if their BootRom is at least MBP111. The 2013-2014 MacBookPro retina models originally shipped with 2x lanes PCIe 2.0 AHCI SSD (speed ~700MB/s). MacBook Air 13" early 2015 (MacBookAir7,1). They do support natively hibernation on NVMe SSD : 0171.B00 and will make them run at PCIe 2.0 speed with up to 4x lanes. They support up to 4TB NVMe SSD if their BootRom is at least MBA71. The 2015-2017 MBA models either shipped with 2x or 4x lanes PCIe 2.0 AHCI SSD (speed ~700 to ~1500MB/s). MacBook Air 13" early 2014 (MacBookAir6,2). MacBook Air 11" early 2014 (MacBookAir6,1). MacBook Air 13" Mid 2013 (MacBookAir6,2). MacBook Air 11" Mid 2013 (MacBookAir6,1). They don't support natively hibernation on NVMe SSD, but workarounds exist. 0103.B00, and will make them run at PCIe 2.0 speed with up to 4x lanes. They support up to 4TB NVMe SSDs if their BootRom is at least MBA61.

NVMe drives are the future compared to AHCI PCIe drives which are no longer made.Īs of 2020 NVMe drives gives you unbeatable capacities, speed, and low prices.Īnd also, upgrading an old computer with a NVMe drive is always better for you and the planet than buying a new one. This guide is all about installing those new NVMe SSD replacements. So, now we can upgrade many 2013-2017 MacBook laptops with brand new, cheap NVMe SSDs carrying 3 to 5-years warranty, instead of expensive, used, out of warranty, AHCI SSDs. Thankfully, in 2017, macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) came out and it was discovered that it not only supported any tiers NVMe SSD but it also brought BootRom upgrades which enabled booting with NVMe SSD. 
support at the BootRom (firmware) level.

To gain full NVMe support you need two things :

PCIe M.2 AHCI SSD are no longer made : you can't buy new ones, and used ones are expensive with low capacity and no warranty.Īt the same time, NVMe "blades" M.2 SSD are going more on more mainstream on the PC market, and there are literally dozens of brand new, cheap, super fast and reliable NVMe SSD on the market, with enormous capacities up to 4TB.
go the DIY solutions buying a M.2 AHCI SSD with an adapter e.g. replace with expensive SSDs from OWC (Aura Pro, Aura Pro 2) or Transcend (820, 850). replace with expensive used SSDs pulled from Apple laptops. They had either 2x PCIe 2.0 Lanes (2013) or 4x PCIe lanes, and were made by Toshiba or Samsung (SSUAX or SSUBX)įor many years the only possible replacements or upgrades for those SSD were to : 
Between 2013-2017, Apple shipped laptops equipped with proprietary, AHCI "blade" SSDs with a proprietary "gumstick connector" (12+16 pins).
