Weird. Maybe your MacBook just doesn't like the sn750. Is there any way for you to try another nvme drive?
Got a tip for us?

Hi all
I’ve not even considered this before, so very interested in possibilities for my mid-2014 13” rMBP. Currently has the official Apple 1TB SSD so looking for success stories with replacing with a 1TB NVMe (for speed increase) or 2TB. Those that have had long-term success with this MBP please let me know in a reply as to what drive and adapter you used.
Thanks!

Quite a lot of diferente sad not seen it before (sabrenet drives are cheaper than the wd)
For real? Thats weird that yours doesnt crash but mine does. What settings/specific adapter do you use? I lose 35% of battery in a night with hibermate mode set to 0, and still a reboot.

Unfortunately i dont have another nvme ssd. Only spinning rust..
apple don't make SSD or other hardware, they design some parts and let them produce BUT in case like SSD or other parts like RAM they just use "normal" parts.(in my case a samsung SSD was mounted in the mac before)
Your issue is quite strange because entering in "sleep" it should move all your work to the RAM and put the computer to sleep, right?
BUT in your case you have a drain while at sleep, my mac was about 24 hours on sleep now, did not see anything strange (1-2% battery usage) no issues so far.
OR they use different memory chips on the SSD's and some work perfect and some give problems (does this make sense?)
my pmset settings in case it can helps (i doubt it)

Hi,
I have a late 2013 MBP Retina which came with 128gb standard.
I bought a WD Blue 3d NAND SATA M.2 2280 1TB and the adaptor recommended in the original post. I cloned the drive and it successfully boots over usb into the cloned operating system.
Once installed internally the mbp will not find the drive to boot off internally. My MBP is running Mojave with Boot Rom version 156.xxxx
Am i missing something here?
Thanks.

Im not sure but it might be that the macbook doesnt support sata drives. This forum describes the usage of nvme drives. They look similar but operate differently.
You are correct, the late 2013 Retina does not support m.2 sata drives.
An original Apple SSD or m.2 AHCI drive will show up under system report as SATA Express.
hello! i have a macbook pro 2015 13" with the small sintech adapter and adata sx8200 pro 1Tb SSD. Everything is running perfectly since a year. OS is Mac Catalina 10.15.4.
I have only one small issue: When I put the macbook in standby/sleep mode overnight, it drains around 20% battery every night and the macbook gets a little warm all the time. I did not change hibernation mode nor anything else.
Is there a workaround to change this behaviour?

In settings, power savings (the lightbulb). There should be an option for “put storage to sleep” or sth similar.
here's my 2015 13” MBP sleep/hibernation results overnight just 1% battery loss that's almost 8 hrs deep sleep.

Auto display brightness works fine so far, but auto keyboard brightness doesn't always work. It did work before I installed the new SSD though. Really unfortunate, but more storage > automatically regulated keyboard backlight.
I have a mid2013 air with Sintech short adapter and Sabrent 512gb. I installed it 2019 April. So I used like 1 year. First months my MacBook crashes once a week or once a two weeks. But now My MacBook always crashing. Sometimes while surfing in chrome, sometimes while watching a video on youtube, sometimes after sleep.
After the crash,
Sometimes can't find disk and folder icon shows but after one more restart no problem.
Sometimes don't accept user passwords. I don't have capital letters in my password and I am sure writing correct but sometimes says wrong. (This happen only after the crash and I restarted one more time and problem solves.)
All these things happen once a day or twice a day. Reactions after crash not so often(two or three a week)
Here is crash log:

Okay. I asked because I have 1 short, black adapter and 1 early revision short, green adapter adapter that needs tape which is why I asked.
I used a Lexar nm600 256 GB in a mid-2014 Air 13". I disabled sleep and used it for about 3 months with Mojave before I sold it. It never crashed panicked. The 2013 and 2014 are identical except for a slight bump in processor speed.
Hi guys,
Got a MBP late 2013 model with 159.0.0.0.0.0 firmware. Was wondering if the hiberbation issue has been resolved with the 159 firmware? The original 256 gb storage getting kind of tight. Thinking of a WD SN550 1 TB drive. Any suggestions be appreciated..
Thanks

Also wonder if that 'NVMEFix' Kext will fix some of the issues you guys are having?

The hibernation issue exists for all 2013 and 2014 MacBooks running a stock bootrom. The only way to solve the hibernation issue with a nvme drive is to flash a modded bootrom.
Thanks. Guess I'll wait then even though I do own a flash programmer I value my MBP way too much..
Thanks
Don't think the hibernation will be fixed by Apple. macOS has supported NVME since High Sierra and the hibernation has been present since then to now.
