This same hardware design is shared by quite a few different 13-inch MacBook Pro models. Here’s a list of the specific Mac models that this SSD installation tutorial is applicable to: I did an SSD upgrade for mine and it’s running like greased lightning. If you’re on a tight hardware budget, or like me, you’ve acquired one of these old workhorses for cheap and you’re willing to put a little bit of coin and some elbow grease to get it running well, the payoff is tremendous.
One of the best performance upgrades you can give your MacBook Pro is to replace the stock hard disk drive with an SSD. If you have one and you’re looking to get some more bang for your buck, it’s possible with relatively little muss and fuss to upgrade them to keep them going a while longer while making them much faster than they ever were from the factory. ^ Thats the first adapter I found, there might be ones with better reviews out there.There are a lot of pre-Retina Display equipped 13-inch MacBook Pros still in service. QNINE SSD Adapter Card for 2012 Macbook Air and Pro Retina, HDD Hard Disk Drive Converter to 2.5 SATA Support 2012 Year Model A1465 A1466 You can upgrade the storage of those models with any SATA M.2 AHCI SSDs - e.g Crucial MX500 sata M.2 - and M.2 to Apple 6+12 adapters. The PCIe M.2 format looks very similar to the SATA M.2 format but it won't work. They are definitely not compatible with M.2 PCIe SSD. “These two models above come with a M.2 AHCI SATA SSD and use a SATA interface.
To clarify, any mSATA drive (which looks like NVMe, albeit mSATA has an additional notch) will work. I also misspoke with regards to the drive, NVMe is incompatible (apologies, first time encountering 2012 Retina MBP SSD Upgrades, had assumed since the port is similar it would be the same :/ ) No problem! And apologies if the linked video was misleading, I included it to highlight the installation procedure.
