Package Contents:
1x M. 2 (NGFF) NVMe SSD Adapter Card for Upgrade of Macbook 2013-2017. Screwdriver , small mounting hardware as seen in picture.
Please note there is some technical skill needed to install a new SSD drive onto a MacBook. The MacBook will not recognize the SSD drive until it is properly formatted.
Typically you do this by downloading an installation copy of Catalina onto a external thumb drive.
We have found that the “Catalina patch” download works best. This software allows you to put Catalina on older MacBooks that are not supported by Apple, after installing Catalina you can upgrade to Big Sur OS, or whatever your computer can handle.
Please note: The item you receive is in picture 1,3,9,and 10 without the NGFF Written on it, but

Next Generation Form Factor  (NGFF) it just means its M.2 is all. It’s just an older term for M .2

4. No need extra power adapter and any drivers.
Applications:
1. Make sure to move to High Sierra while still on your old drive, so that a newer firmware is installed that can handle NVMe.
2. Do a full backup to your Time Machine.
3. Create a High Sierra Installer on a bootable USB stick.
4. Open the macbook and disconnect the battery while wsitching out the drive and make sure both adapter and new SSD sit snug. Finally reconnect the battery before closing the shell.
5. Insert the installer USB stick from step2, and press the option key while the machine starts. This should allow you to choose the USB drive as a bootable disk Once it opens up you can now go to the disk utils to format. You will want to choose APFS format from there.
If after installing the APFS format your laptop still does not recognize your SSD drive it is not because it is a defective adapter card. You will need to install iOS on your SSD before your computer will recognize it. This may include installing the OS external with an adapter hitched up to by USB.
The MacBook is a great laptop but Apple has made it a challenge to install a new hard drive. But don’t worry everybody has overcome that has purchased this item before you.
We have not had a defective adapter sold yet. If you’re not recognizing your hard drive it is because of this formatting problem that has to be overcome.
