I believe the early 2013 Retina uses an mSATA drive with a proprietary Apple connection.

OWC drives are expensive. You may be better off buying a Sintech adapter (http://eshop.sintech.cn/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=130_131&products_id=1341) and an mSATA drive. This way, you easily can re-purpose the mSATA drive and save lots of money.

Just curious here - you have an i7 processor and 16g of memory (max) 👍 - plus an apple original SSD? - should be fairly fast? - is it possible the SSD is full ? how much storage do you have ? what percentage of the capacity remains?

or perhaps slow for other reasons like iCloud syncing files? is it slow when you turn off the wireless connection?

Have you tried activity monitor to check on what is using the CPU?

I know this is late but for the Early 2013 MBP 15 inch you can get a Syntech adapter and an M.2 SATA storage drive.

Drive performance is much faster than the one you posted in your original post. There are options. I would stay away from OWC as they are over priced for what you get in my opinion. They will work on your laptop but there are other options.
