MacBook Air mid2013 and Samsung's 960 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD

[xadox]

I have a MacBook Air (13", Mid 2013) MacBookAir6,2 MD760xx/A, MD761xx/A.
It's running the latest Mojave with BootRom 110.0.0.0.0.

I want to use a Samsung 970 EVO M.2 card with a Sintech adapter.
Think I will use one of these Adapters:

Are there still problems with standby or hibernation on the MBA Mid2013?
Or should I use a differend kind of NVMe SSD?

Every Air and Pro before 2015 has hibernation problems regardless of the nvme brand or model.

@xadox take a look at this [1] Howto. It explains how to extract the bootrom from another Macbook and to update a 2013-2014 Macbook bootrom in order to avoid the wake up, boot and kernel panic issues.

Good post for those that need the bootrom mod.

Luckily, my Air is from 2015.

Is there a cheaper J6100 adapter variant besides the expensive one on Ebay?
