M key M.2 PCIe AHCI SSD Adapter Card for MACBOOK Air 2013 2014 2015 2017 A1465 A1466 Pro A1398 A1502 A1419 2230-2280 SSD

This adapter card has been tested before shipment, if you do not recognize the hard disk when installed, please pay attention to the following points first:

1. The adapter card should be inserted into place when inserting into the SSD socket of the computer, with a little force, we have encountered many people who say that they can't recognize the disk, take a picture to see, it is the buyer who did not insert the adapter card to the end.

2. Wrong hard drive: Some buyers use SATA protocol M.2 NGFF hard disk to install, definitely not. It is important to note that Apple computers are not compatible with all NVMe M.2 hard disks, some hard disks Apple computers can not be used, such as Samsung PM981, Hynix's PC300, etc., there are too many hard disk models, I can't buy all of them one by one to test, it is recommended that buyers buy hard disk models verified by others.

3. Before replacing the hard disk, please make sure that your original hard disk is 10.14 or higher system version, if not, be sure to upgrade or install a higher version system with the original hard disk; if the original hard disk is damaged, you can borrow an original hard disk and follow the above instructions to operate again.

4. The partition format of the hard disk is not correct, it is not recognized when installing the system, and the GPT (GUID) partition format must be required. Be careful not to use any Windows system partitioning software to partition the hard disk or PE system to partition the hard disk, otherwise it will bring trouble to the future installation work! You can use LINUX software such as UBANTU installation disk to partition the hard disk.

5. Do not install the system from the network, and do not try to restore the system with your original backup, because the new and old versions of the Apple system disk format are different! Honestly download the Apple system, do a good job of the 10.14 version above the Apple system installation disk, install from the USB disk, this is the only way! To restore your original system data, we have an idea, because a buyer friend said this will work, but we have not actually operated, do not know the specific details, just for reference, we can not provide technical support! The method is as follows: you can use your original Apple system to make an installation disk, then make a backup, and then restore it after installing the system on the new hard disk with a USB disk.

6. Many buyers install the hard disk, boot the OPTION key can not see the hard disk, come to us and say not to recognize the disk, Apple machine is not an ordinary PC, do not use disk utility partition format hard disk before, you can not see the hard disk.

7. Your machine turned out to be a group of mixed hard disks, you must first unmix and then replace with a new hard disk, otherwise it is useless. Note: Before unmixing, upgrade the system to 10.14 or more and make data backups.

8. Some Apple computers use adapter cards plus SSDs to replace the original Apple hard disk after the 2013 version, the system will wake up after hibernation will crash, need to restart the computer to use normally, this has nothing to do with the adapter card, and the hard disk model you use is related, after some buyers confirmed, the use of Samsung 970evo, HP EX900 920 950, SanDisk extreme Pro M.2 NGFF and Lexar's NM600 will not have sleep wake crash problem, Therefore, it is recommended that you try to choose these hard disk plus adapter card combinations, or refer to the transaction evaluation of this product, some buyers provide model models and hard disk models that can be used normally. If you use another model to crash after waking up from hibernation, it is recommended to turn off the hibernation function of the system after installing the system! (About re-waking up after entering hibernation is related to the computer model and the hard disk model used, but there are too many of these models, and this store can't verify them all!) )

Do not recommend the adapter used for SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS.
