Using network installation and time machine to restore the system is not allowed. After the system is upgraded, copy the file to the original place. Or else the file would automatically be deleted. After downloading the latest installation files from APP STORE, please copy one first rather than upgrading and installing. Please upgrade the system of the original hard drive to the latest version before changing computer hard drive. If using Samsung 970evo pro on 20, only APPLE operation system is supported.

Just in case, the reason why I liked the corsair drive is: 1. Do they use the same m.2 port to indicate these two are compatible (rendering the nvme drive slower maxing out at the same speed as the sata iii drive)? or will it be completely incompatible? I understand nvme is a different spec capable of extremely high speeds in comparison to sata iii, and I imagine the bus on the macbook air is set to be sata iii as opposed to nvme in full. ended up more confused.Ĭould anybody elaborate a bit more? I was trying to find a linus tech video explaining all the different nvme/ngff variations and which one could be mixed with what.

At this point, I was a bit confused and dug out a bit more trying to understand what the actual difference between nvme and ngff. Incidentally, this adapter indicates it does not support pci-express x2 or x4 transfer mode and it only supports NGFF (or SATA) ( Description=m.2 adapter apple&cm_re=m.2_adapter_apple-_-9SIA6V86JM5118-_-Product).

Browsing online for m.2 I've cornered myself with a set of new terms I'm unfamiliar with and I might need a bit of help.īrowsing newegg, I found a few drives appealing such as the corsair force MP300 (Corsair Force MP300 M.2 2280 480GB PCI-Express 3.0 x2, NVME 1.3 3D) or the Samsung 970 evo ( SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 2280 500GB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 V-NAND 3-bit MLC) which can be fitted to the macbook air via an adapter.

My wife's Macbook Air mid 2013 storage has been playing out a bit and its internal capacity is a complete joke.
