Mce 1tb Ssd For Mac
But I would assume that heat output is proportional to power consumption, and I wrote MCE to specifically ask if their 2TB SSD is hotter than the factory Apple 1TB SSD I have now, and they told me it would be about the same.

You said you are using the Samsung EVO 970. If you don't mind, I have some questions for you: 1. Do you have the 2TB model?
Remember, you have a Mac where stuff just works! You even use Apple's own Disk Utility program to easily setup and partition, if desired, the OptiBay Hard Drive, or SSD, however you'd like: As a standard drive volume showing up as its own icon on your desktop, in conjunction with your internal hard drive as part of a RAID 0 (Striped) or RAID 1 (Mirrored) array, or concatenated (combined) with your internal hard drive so they appear as one large hard drive are just a few of the many possibilities.
I am also curious about external enclosures for the stock Apple 1TB SSD that I will remove when performing the upgrade. Click to expand. It went cleanly and it's now running with the 8200. But one serious issue i noticed. When you install the Sintech NGFF M.2 PCIe SSD Card as 2013 2014 2015 MacBook SSD & the 960 There is a screw, on the end of the sintech pcb are two pads that sit by the screw that is used to lock the PCB's in place As you tighten down the screw, the pressure on hte pads forces the adaptor PCB over the shaft of the screw hole and cause it to become banana shaped (you need a torch to see it), the more you tighten the screw to hold the two pcb the more the bottom one bends.
For those in situations where being as fail-safe as possible is more important than the extra capacity, you have the option of mirroring your entire internal hard drive to the OptiBay. Or configure Time Machine (through the Time Machine System Preference) or your favorite backup utility, to backup to the OptiBay regularly. And do so at fast SATA speeds! That way, if the unthinkable happens and your internal hard drive goes down, or you delete a file you shouldn't have, you won't miss a single beat since you'll be able to easily switch over and work seamlessly, or pull up a saved Time Machine, from the OptiBay and you're back in business. The OptiBay can also be used as a scratch disk for your data, doing all the heavy work and not bogged down having to run system routines simultaneously.
This slim, portable, external USB 2.0 enclosure transforms your original SuperDrive into a bootable, bus-powered SuperDrive just as compatible with iTunes, iDVD, Finder Burning, Toast, DVD Player etc. Now just plug in your external SuperDrive to your USB 2.0 port only when needed in order to play, burn, or rip CDs or DVDs or to load new system software or applications. You can also choose the new portable, slot-loading MCE SuperBurner 8X DVD/CD Recordable USB 2.0 Drive or the MCE Desktop External 24X DVD-/+R/RW + Dual/Double Layer USB 2.0 SuperDrive to instead have the functionality of a higher-speed CD/DVD reader/writer at your disposal in a more stationary desktop form factor. You can also choose not to include any optical drive option in the event you already have an external optical drive of your own. You may install the OptiBay yourself* or, if you prefer, you may have it professionally installed into your MacBook Pro or PowerBook G4 by MCE Technologies or one of our worldwide. *NOTE for 12-inch PowerBook G4 Owners: MCE highly recommends that your drive be professionally installed. The installation of the MCE OptiBay Drive into the 12-inch PowerBook G4 involves the removal of some 40 plus screws and parts and is not for the faint of heart.
The OptiBay® was created by MCE for users who want as much storage capacity inside their system as possible. Compatible with the MacBook Pro, MacBook, PowerBook G4, iMac, and Mac mini, the OptiBay replaces your system's internal SuperDrive (DVD Drive / optical drive) with a high performance SATA hard drive, or SSD (Solid State Drive), of up to 2TB. Or get just the OptiBay drive kit and use your own 2.5' SATA hard drive or SSD.

Pre-2015 MBP do not include the later NVMe driver in the bootrom, so are unable to come out of hibernation properly. There is a workaround using pmset for this. Obviously 2015 and later MBP are fine. All non-Apple SSDs will run with worse battery life; irrespective of make (OWC/Transcend/MCE/Intel/Samsung etc.).
So that is why I am curious to hear from someone who actually uses an MCE 2TB SSD in their 2015 15' MBP. You said you are using the Samsung EVO 970. If you don't mind, I have some questions for you: 1. Do you have the 2TB model?
By contrast, when connected to WiFi, my rMBP wakes up every 10-15 minutes with lid closed. This is the sole cause of all battery drain for me because if I turn WiFi off the rMBP drains no battery in the last 2.5 hours, and I think also explains why you got such great results. The reason for frequent wake ups is the only mystery now. I will not change the default settings for a couple of days and observe the behavior, to rule out any effects due to a fresh OS install. If it still doesn't sleep well after a few days, I might experiment with tcpkeepalive. This thread is 79 pages long and almost 2000 posts, yet there is no mention of the for the mid-2015 15' MacBook Pro.
Only an experienced technician should attempt this upgrade into the 12-inch PowerBook G4.

Since the mid-1990's, MCE has designed and engineered hard drive and SuperDrive upgrades exclusively for PowerBooks. Many of those PowerBooks had what was called an 'Expansion Bay' slot giving users a tremendous amount of flexibility in how they could configure and use their machines. We created 'Expansion Bay Hard Drives' for those machines, (still today), that allow users to easily replace their expansion bay optical drives with a removable hard drive. Apple's introduction of the PowerBook G4 Titanium in 2001 and their quest for the thinnest notebook in the world eliminated the possibility for a removable expansion bay.
(This is based on; Apple removed the update script in later versions of the FirmwareUpdate.pkg though.). Click to expand.No. MacOS High Sierra introduced NVMe support. PCIe speeds is dictated by whether you have PCI2.0 vs 3.0; and also the number of lanes available to the NVMe drive to use. Neither of which have anything to do with the bootrom patch. The bootrom patch is required for pre-2015 MBP (and possibly other devices) that run an older version of the NVMe driver which causes issues with hibernation; the patch simply uses a newer NVMe driver (from a 2015 MBP) to solve the issue. Looks like as of the latest beta; there is no bootrom update for Pre-2015 MBP.
Yes; the temperature around the back of my MacBook is noticeably hotter under load. IStat also reports the Samsung running around 45 - 48 under load. No I've got a Chenyang adapter; the adapter you link to is the best one and I have it on order. Adapter arrived today. Certainly better manufacturing quality than the Chenyang adapter.
Click to expand.I have a mid-2015 15' MBP so of course I am not interested in the tricks for older MBPs. However, from what I understand it is best to format with the default 4K (AFPS), for sake of speed and to ensure zero issues. We cannot know if an Apple branded PCIe NVMe 2TB SSD would draw more or less power than the MCE PCIe NVMe because not a single person has tested that scenario. (Not a single person in this thread has claimed to use the MCE 1TB or 2TB NVMe SSDs.) But I would assume that heat output is proportional to power consumption, and I wrote MCE to specifically ask if their 2TB SSD is hotter than the factory Apple 1TB SSD I have now, and they told me it would be about the same. Oh my god hoe don't do it. Whether that is the absolute truth or just a guess on the part of MCE is something I cannot know, but that is what they told me.
You see, I've purchased OWC SSDs for several other older Macs in the past, and almost all of those OWC SSDs had problems of one sort or another. I had to go through 2 RMAs to get a MBP SSD (for a 2009 MBP) to finally work. And my attempts at getting their vintage Mac friendly SSDs to work failed entirely, such that they discontinued the entire line of those! Hearing first-hand user experiences from others is important to me because I am outside the US and often need to buy things from the US and get them shipped to me. And when a problem occurs, it takes a huge amount of time and expense to get the problem resolved or my money back. So before I plunk down the money for a Samsung 970 EVO + Adapter or a MCE 2TB PCIe SSD for my mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15', I want to assess the best 2TB SSD solution available.

You can also choose not to include any optical drive option in the event you already have an external optical drive of your own. You may install the OptiBay yourself* or, if you prefer, you may have it professionally installed into your MacBook Pro or PowerBook G4 by MCE Technologies or one of our worldwide. *NOTE for 12-inch PowerBook G4 Owners: MCE highly recommends that your drive be professionally installed.

Thats a fact for all drives, whether Apple or non-Apple branded ones. PCI2.0 drives will use less power than PCI3.0 drives (i.e. If the drive is running at PCI2.0 speeds; it will use less power than if the same drive was running in PCI3.0) Also some drives are prone to produce more heat as a result so bear this in mind. Apple NVMe drives are able to run with less power at idle however; hence the battery life suffers with those that aren't Apple drives. Hope that helps! As alluded to by an earlier post, OWC/Transcend and MCE all produce NVMe drives that plug directly into MacBook Pro. However 79 pages count that you refer to is more to do with the issues that NVMe drives seem to cause; specifically things like 512/4k formatting, hibernation, sleep, battery consumption & heat.All non-Apple SSDs will run with worse battery life; irrespective of make (OWC/Transcend/MCE/Intel/Samsung etc.).Apple NVMe drives are able to run with less power at idle however; hence the battery life suffers with those that aren't Apple drives.
Well, you are not without options, but as other posters have aptly pointed out, the options that even approach what you are looking for are going to be pricey. But will qualify 'pricey', since you mentioned are using in professional environment. Then a realistic question is 'how much is your data worth?' And that may change the initial question from asking about drive capacity to capacity and backup (or redundancy) options. 'Foremay.announced the world’s largest solid state drive with capacities up to.1 TB for 2.5” SATA form factors.As the world’s highest capacity SSDs available, the EC188 M-series model-V flash hard drives are also bootable and support all major operating systems including.Mac' ( ). So, not sure if thus would fit nicely in the MBP, and I also find it rather unnerving when you have to email for a price quote ('For more information, please contact info@foremay.net') Another option: 800GB (400GB+400GB) Newer Technology Guardian MAXimus mini Portable Extreme SSD FW800&400 USB2eSATA SATA Dual 2.5' SSD based Storage Solution.
