I contacted SK Hynix support, as there is no firmware listed for the 2tb P31 gold on their downloads page. As you suspected, they confirmed that the reason the 2tb has no firmware to download is because it comes from the factory with the latest and there has been no new firmware for it since the drive was released
Got a tip for us?

Upgrading 2013-2015 Macbook Pro SSD to M.2 NVMe

I am of the opinion that sticking with a name brand product which has been reported in this group to work with an adapter which is only a few dollars is the way to go.
Internal/ExternalHas any of you guys tried this one? I wonder if it's going to perform as the original SSD or like an NVME

Did you try my EFI + config.plist from posts #69 & #75 page 3?
If you did, what was the problem?

Yes. High Sierra and Mojave are supported. However, some MacBook models aren't. Check the link below.
It depends on the SSD. Higher power consumption means higher temperature. If you get a power savvy SSD, the temperature will stay low too. My Crucial P2 never got above 40º Celsius with ssdpmEnabler. Without ssdpmEnabler I have seen 42º. Mostly it is 33º to 35º. In my experience, High Sierra was overall cooler and in Mojave the fans come up more often. But I don't have an eye on temperature all the time.

No I just did what i see on the OC. Will try again and let you know how it goes.
H!
So I have the same issue as previously mentioned that when trying to update to monterey from Big Sur 11.6 using a mid 2015 macbook pro, I am able to download the update (since the mac is supported) but probably because I use an NVMe SSD (Toshiba KXG50ZNV512G), when prompted to restart during the update, I get the following error message:
My question is, is there a way to install Monterey using some kind of workaround without a genuine Apple SSD? I never had any kind of issues with updating MacOs on this machine but I don't have access to an Apple made drive.

I bought the mp510 and a new adapter to see if either of those will work. Hopefully this rules out what the problem is.

Thanks a lot. I'll put that tool on my list of things to test... but first the problem next... *sigh*
Now i have the next weird issue with MacBook11,1 (A1898), sintech adapter, 512GByte Crucial P2, CT500P2SSD8
Read/Write speed measured on 100G file better than the WD550, write up to 2TB/sec, read up to 2.8TB/sec.
But then i enabled Filevault on the OS partition and APFS encrypted on a second data partition. ANd i now only get 30 MByte/sec write speed on either. Switch off Filevault, back to normal write speeds.
This problem does not happen with the Apple SSD, which is also using the same partitioning and encryptions.
What gives ? Anybody seen this in before ?

Hmm, I don't use File Vault. But before you return the Crucial P2, try finding out if the SSD is faulty or something else.

Well, I last used my MBP (Mid 2015 15" 2.8i7 with DGPU, using sintech and 2TB P31 Gold as discussed previously) around lunch when I allowed our firm's IT guy to remote in to install our security certificate for the VPN. Then, my wife logged in to forward something to herself from my email while I was unavailable.
I just opened the screen to see that the machine shutdown due to a kernel panic. Here is the code:

My performance drop was i now think the result of QLC on the Crucial P2. I had done all my throughput performance tests initially with writing large files like this: "pv < /dev/zero > FILE". That actually works on the crucial without peformance drops after QLC cache because the SSD seems to recognize it as the same as "empty cell".Hmm, I don't use File Vault. But before you return the Crucial P2, try finding out if the SSD is faulty or something else.
Have you checked the usual suspects?

Now when i started to actually write random data (there is no good ready made too to generate that random data at a rate of > 2TB/sec though, so i had to improvise), then i can see that the write speed does become dismal after what seems like QLC cache exhaustion.
And when using FileVault or APFS partition encryption, of course even a zero-filled file will be written as random data to the SSD. Hence i had that QLC problem with null filled files only with encrypted filesystems.
Now i am back to the WD550, P2 goes back to Amazon.
Ok. Works on my 10.14.6 Mid 2015 15" MBP, but powr consumption of WD550 1B oes only down fromYes. High Sierra and Mojave are supported. However, some MacBook models aren't. Check the link below.
It depends on the SSD. Higher power consumption means higher temperature. If you get a power savvy SSD, the temperature will stay low too. My Crucial P2 never got above 40º Celsius with ssdpmEnabler. Without ssdpmEnabler I have seen 42º. Mostly it is 33º to 35º. In my experience, High Sierra was overall cooler and in Mojave the fans come up more often.

0.3A to 0.16A at idle, vs. my 512G Apple SSD with 0.03.
I am getting a 512GB SSB which is more than enough and hope it uses less power.
the 1TB will then become USB backup SSD.
Do you think this problem with FileVault and apfs only happens after the exhaustion of the 135GB cache? Or always?
I have not tried to find the exact mark at which the performance goes down, but it could well be such a number. I do not quite yet understand how the performance drop should work in theory. But its definitely reproducable withot FileVault just by writing non-zero files.
Is there any post that better explains how that cache works ? I guess that i should get higher performance again when i wait somewhat after a burst write, after the SSD has copied from fast cache to QLC memory ?
Also: is the 135G the number for a 512G QLC SSD ? Would it be double for a 1TB SSD ?
It seems 135GB regardless https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-p2-m-2-nvme-ssd/2 tried to find more articles but I always read that number
If you google "Crucial P2 QLC" you can find a lot
