I have a mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD) which has become quite slow now - slow to open apps, search in finder/spotlight, open a new browser tab, etc. At first I was set on upgrading...

    what are the options on late 2014 for pcie SSD?

    I understand that the Samsung 960 evo is not an option. Are there any other options apart Apple and OWC? What are the benefits over say an 850 evo / pro in the sata slot?
