Hi.
Am new here, relaitvely new to Mac but laptop/PC literate - I have a MBA 2017 which I plan to upgrade the SSD in, to 1TB. I'm sourcing the adapter recommended earlier and have looked through many of the how-to's.
If I understand - the transfer speed available on latest Samsung (as example) drives (970 etc), is beyond the capability of the extant electronics/logic on the MBA Motherboard. From what I've seen in sample tests posted, the achievable speed is 1300MB or so, even if the drive could exceed it.
So, I am assuming 'new' (but slower) devices are adequate, and may save me some $, when I would not be able to realise the higher performance of devices like the Samsung 970; Intel 760p
Specifically looking at (new) Intel 660p; Corsair MP510;
Views, comment, derisive laughter, as you determine. Many thanks.
