[Motdofer]

I have mbp late 2013 and i made two partition and two different OS. Then after for a while if i am not wrong, i remember that pcie link width x4 and 8Gt/s... But in fact i am not sure.. It s original stock ssd.

Controller is SM0512F looking 5GT/s and x2 line.

So Is anybody knows link width on this model macbook?

The link speed is right, in fact your test results are a bit higher.

The Aura Pro X2 are NVMe type but use the PCIe 3.1 standard but x4 link, while you screen shot shows only x2 link speed, which accounts for some of the speed shortcoming. The NVMe type SSDs have less latency than the old type.

Thank you for your reply. I found that in specs;

Proprietary

Storage Interface:

Proprietary* (PCIe 2.0 x2)

Details:

*As first documented by site sponsor OWC, this model has a PCIe-based SSD (PCIe 2.0 x2 interface).

So 8GT/s and x4 line not for my pc i was wrong.

If you decide to upgrade the SSD, I do not recommend the OWC drives because they are so expensive. You are better off getting a NVMe adapter and NVMe drive. This allows you to easily re-purpose the drive in another Mac or PC.
