If it's still under warranty/AppleCare, keep in mind that you need the original drive (re-installed in need) should you want from Apple to service such a unit. This would not be the case if you'd power another external drive, which would draw quite a bit more pwer from the battery. In real life this was negligible in terms of fan speed or battery life. I used a Samsung 970evo in this configuration on a few machines, and it does drain too much power (tolerable) and it can get a bit too warm (again: tolerable), in an Intel iGPU only MBP 2015.Ĭomparing specs and sensor readings show significant differences between the stock drives and the replacements.
#Owc aura ssd for mac pro 2015 full#
I was pretty happy with the purchase as I was getting 40 higher writing speeds and slightly higher read speeds with the Aura Pro X vs the Apple stock one (might be due to it being almost full when tested). Looking for your personal sweet spot might require some serious spec digging. A few weeks ago I upgraded my Macbook Pro Retina 13' Early 2015's SSD to a larger one from OWC: the Aura Pro X. 3GHz 8-Core i9, 16GB, 1TB SSD, Radeon Pro 5500M 99 16 Retina display with. Some drives do drain quite a bit of power and do get hotter than others. 4 Retina: 2880x1800 MacBook Pro 16: 3072x1920 Final Fantasy XIVA Realm. Then look for aa matching SSD chewing gum strip. This item: OWC 1.0TB Aura Pro X2 SSD for MacBook Air (Mid 2013-2017), and MacBook Pro (Retina, Late 2013 - Mid 2015) Computers (OWCS3DAPT4MB10) 199.00 In Stock. There are quite some a bit too cheap offerings out there. With a drive from that manufacturer/vendor, I'd say exchanging a faulty drive or a simple reseating of perfectly fine module should solve these problems.īut the more flexible and cost effective way is going for an established seller and manufacturer of M2-adapters. Most issues with replacement SSDs for this model come to down to connection problems. It's not so important to stick to the specific brand (which I would recommend otherwise most of the time). If it's an Intel iGPU only, things are much more relaxed. If it has a discrete GPU then heat will be more of an issue. To save money and get more speed: It may depend a bit on the exact model of MacBook Pro.
To play it safe in terms of spec, buy a used Apple drive.
