I had the same issue with Catalina, I installed it and then reverted back to Mojave as the excessive heat was nuts - got super hot and was not comfortable using it. I would stay with Mojave...
Got a tip for us?

This panic looks really suspicious. Can you send me (privately) an IORegistry dump with the Samsung SSD installed? You can obtain it using IORegistryExplorer.
Hi there I have the Late 2013 Retina 13" Macbook Pro with 16 gb of RAM and 2.8 i7. Bootrom is now 158.0.0.0.0
Hey everyone,
It's been 3h since I've installed a 1tb Sabrent Rocket SSD into my MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch early 2015 (A1502) with 189.0.0.0 bootrom and I want to report that everything works fine like stock with Catalina. SSD's temp is around 40 degrees, I'm not facing extreme power consumption and the speed improved!
Only thing I have to test is how hibernation mode handle power consumption.

One strange thing I'm facing is that inside EFI partition APPLE folder is missing! What is that folder usage?
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm buying a 512GB Sabrent Rocket for my daughter's early 2015 MBA.

Mine doesn’t seem to be going into deep sleep/hibernate like it did before the upgrade after closing the lid. I haven’t been able to figure out why yet. Battery drains with the lid closed like it does if the lid is open but the display is off. Even did a reset of the SMC but the behavior hasn’t changed. I’ll give another reset a shot assuming the SMC didn’t actually get reset though.
do you have 2015 MBP ? type this in the terminal ( sudo pmset -g ) and post the results here.
Yup, Early 2015 13" MacBook Pro. Here's the output of sudo pmset -g:
System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
lidwake 1
autopoweroff 1

autopoweroffdelay 28800
standbydelaylow 10800

ttyskeepawake 1

hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
highstandbythreshold 50
displaysleep 2
sleep 1
acwake 0
halfdim 1
tcpkeepalive 1
disksleep 10
This is after I tried resetting the SMC and restoring defaults in Energy Saver.

ok lets change a couple line items in terminal.
standby = 0 ( sudo pmset standby 0)
hibernatemode = 25 ( sudo pmset hibernatemode 25 )
close the lid and wait a least 3 mins, then open the lid, if hibernation works you should see a loading bar at the bottom of the screen, if it doesn't work your mac will restart twice.
Thanks @vince22 ! Reading the manual for pmset I had a feeling something like that would've needed to be set. Weird how you need to do this with an aftermarket SSD (or a Sabrent in my case) where the behavior is seemingly different with a stock one.
Update: after 12h in hibernation 3 it dropped around 20% of battery. The battery has 5 charging cycles. Isn't that a lot?
I did a disk partition and a bootcamp install successfully. Time to install Manjaro Linux now!
What is the difference between 3 and 25 mode?
Edit: I tried standby 0 and hibernation 25 with pmset and after 3 minutes I opened the lid and it restarted once. What does it mean? It's not going to hibernation at all?

Hi, yes that's a lot but it is expected as you are using a non apple drive so ii would never go into real deep sleep as apple driver that controls power only works with apple drives.
Hibernation 25 mode means that you mac will save all the work in the disk instead of the RAM so in theory should save battery however the boot up time should be longer. Standard mode in new macs is mode 3 which is called safe sleep.
Another important point is that catalina is constantly checking for networks availability, both wifi and bluetooth, this is a new feature that apple introduced to be able to locate your mac via find my mac even if it is not conectec to the network. I had the same issue with the stock drive and my solution was:
- Under notifications panel, turn off notifications when screen is off.
- And the most important disable find my mac entirely.
New find my mac feature is constantly sending TCP packages over the network and checking for nearby bluetooth devices in order to make your mac searchable in case you loose it even if it is not connected to the internet.
I hope this helps
Ok thank you I'll try this.
For the number 1, to turn off notification while screen is off, I have to turn on do not disturb when the display is sleeping?
Can i get hibernate mode 25 and sleep 0 working on nvme ssd 189.0.0.0 mbp early 2015? That should be deep sleep mode. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Hibernate mode 25 is the most conservative mode but as I mentioned earlier the problem here is not the mode you select, the real problem is that apple propietary driver only allows their own drives to enter into real deep sleep via hardware. Moderns SSD and NVME have build in controllers for power efficiency, windows manages these controllers very well but apple propietary driver only manages their own drives.
As an example I changed my 128GB SSD MBP 13 2015 for the new corsair MP510 480GB and battery drain while asleep was huge compared to the apple 128GB stick. I recorded that Corsair drained 0.16amp no matter what whereas apple propietary between 0.02 and 0.05.
The conclusion is if you want max battery life stick to apple drive or buy a larger apple drive like I did. If you want max storage get a third party drive and live with lower battery life.
This is my opinion based on my own experience.
Ok I get it.
By the way I got hibernation 25 and standby 0 configuration working after a reboot. The bar on the bottom appears if I reopen the lid after 1 minute.
This is my configuration:
Code:
lidwake 1
autopoweroff 1
standbydelayhigh 86400
autopoweroffdelay 28800
standbydelaylow 10800
standby 0
proximitywake 0
ttyskeepawake 1
hibernatemode 25
powernap 0
gpuswitch 2
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
highstandbythreshold 50
displaysleep 60
sleep 60 (sleep prevented by sharingd)
acwake 0
halfdim 1
tcpkeepalive 1
disksleep 0Now all I have to do is to understand if hibernation 3 with standby 1 saves more battery than hibernation 25 and standby 0 or vice-versa. Do you have an answer for this as I can choose between the two modes?
Hi, I also have the same MacBook as you and ordered the same drive. I ordered both the long and short adapter and was planning to return whichever one I didn't use. May I ask which one you ordered and if it was the long one, did it add any bulk to your system?
I went for the short one as the main thread suggest. Btw every Sintech adapter should work fine
Got it! And how are the read/write speeds? Did you have to use any kapton tape?
This behaviour is to be expected, as I mentioned earlier hibernation mode 25 saves your session in the drive rather than keep is in RAM so is much slower.
If I were you I would leave the pmset conf as default and I would disable find my mac and enable Do Not Disturb when screen is off under notifications, then see the results if they convince you then leave it like that if it don't try then messing with the pmset.

By the way as far as I know Standby 1 means standby is enabled and standby 0 means disabled, so you shouldn't change this. Basically this line of code acts like a switch 1 for on 0 for off.

I've already disabled both of them, I'll revert the pmset settings and I'll what I got. Thank you very much for these explainations!
Haven't tested read/write already as I was interested in getting more space, I'll run a benchmark now and I'll update you as soon as I can. I havent used any tape.

Thank you very much
Does anyone know whether there is a difference between the long adapter and the short adapter in terms of read write speeds? Also any issues with either of them?
