This has never occurred to me. I would suggest the following: 1. Install the SSD in a desktop m.2 slot. 2. If the SSD is still over heating, install samsung magician on the desktop and update the SSD firmware. OR If it is not over heating, replace the adapter(m.2 to Apple). 3. Format the SSD and install it back into the MacBook. If you don't have a desktop with spare m.2 nvme slot, ask a friend. Else get a USB enclosure for nvme SSD. Use USB to connect the enclosure to another system for Firmware Update. Let me know in the comments if it works. Cheers.
So internet recovery works for the 2017 version. I see others use bootable usb instead of the internet recovery and I don't why they do this.Also users mention specific MacOS needed first. I want to upgrade my 2011 air but hesitant of the issues stated. Does the older macs support the internet recovery for the ssd upgrade?
I did not screwed the adapter down, the screw holes did not align properly. Also, I plugged in the battery connector after forcefully jamming in the SSD adapter.
I have this macbook and it broke down out of nowhere. I wanna transfer my files from the hard drive to another computer, is the hard drive the same as the ssd? Which adaptor do you suggest? Im panickiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, gotta submit something inside it on Monday 😭😭😭
Mine too. Working just fine, then I left the room. Came back to it stuck on power up. I mean the boot up chime sounds for only a second then powers off then powers on again.
The type of SSD is the same as the one shown in the video. In order to fix it you can just use the nvme to apple converter and any m.2 nvme SSD. But for recovery of data it is complex. There is 10~15% chance that the SSD will be readable with an apple SSD to USB adapter/enclosure. And, thanks to Apple, the adapters are expensive and hard to find. If everything goes well, the drive will only be readable from a Mac.
To be honest, it has a very slim chance. I would suggest you go to a data recovery specialist. OR, if you want to tinker like me, follow these steps only if your drive is not encrypted and this has a very slim chance of working: 1. Get a MAC SSD to USB enclosure. OR, MAC to NVME adapter and NVME to USB enclosure. 2. Pull out the SSD from your MAC and add it in your new adapter. 3. Connect your SSD to another MAC(Windows will not do, as it does not supports the Apple File System) 4. Files may appear in the external drive.
hahahaha brother, i've only watched the first minute from your video and i'm already lovingit for the realistic and funny comments you mentioned
Thank you so much, I am glad you noticed it. It means a lot to me.
What about heating?? I upgraded with Samsung 980 pro in macbook air 2015 and after upgrading Ssd and processor heats up like crazy what should i do ?

Hopefully it will work, but still need to double check. The oldest model I got this working on was MacBook Pro 2012.
how did you make appeared the new ssd when the laptop do not recognize it?
I started the restore sequence. In my case I used the option to factory reset and install Mac OS from Network.
Did you manage to recover data from your hardrive? How did you do it if you did?
No. I had no luck finding an adapter which converts Apple SSD Connector to USB.
Mine didn't fit perfectly.. what did you do...yours also didn't fit right?
I did not screwed the adapter down, the screw holes did not align properly. Also, I plugged in the battery connector after forcefully jamming in the SSD adapter.
which SSDs are compatible with macbook air 2013 model? Please!
Any m.2 nvme SSD with the nvme to apple SSD adapter
