MacBook Pro SSD upgrade with adaptor

[sajr]

Good morning all,
I have a 15" MacBook Pro (Mid 2015) with a 1tb SSD which is almost filling up and I'm starting to look at upgrading the SSD to 2tb. There is the option of the OWC 2.0tb Aura pro X2, but that is quite expensive for the 2tb model (£518 in the UK). However there is the option of buying an adaptor (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073F9LDD5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A126TP8GNO2D3&psc=1) that allows a standard Ssd to be fitted which is considerably cheaper for a 2tb model (approx £245). Has anyone here had any experience of using one of the adaptors?
Thanks

Yes.

There is a great thread on this forum already about this.

Upgrading 2013/2014 Macbook Pro SSD to M.2 NVMe

This thread is about upgrading MacBook Airs & Macbook Pros (2013-2015) with new high speed and/or high capacity NVMe SSDs. This thread was one of the first to talk about MacBook Pro NVMe SSD upgrades on Macrumors, and was started by user "maxthackray", which we can thank and give tribute for...

I think the best advice is to buy the rev. C of the Sintech adapter, which is much larger than the one you linked to. It extends all the way to the locking screw to protect from short circuits, I believe.

I have had great success with mine. The 2015 MBP is especially suited for this hack since they allow for hibernation with NVMe devices.

My SSD is only 500 GB thou so I have no experience with such large drives as the one you are suggesting.

@curnalpanic have you got a link to the Sintech rev C adaptor? is it this one by any chance ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sintech-Re...eywords=Sintech+adapter&qid=1594654225&sr=8-3

I highly recommend this Sintech because it works well with NVMe drives that have memory chips on both sides: http://eshop.sintech.cn/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=130_132&products_id=1139
