oh good question, unfortunately I don't even have a Mac of recent vintage so I don't know, sorry. The best thing to do is to read your Macbook manual if you still have it and look for what was installed there, but if it's that old, i.e. already 9 years old, I think it still runs with a normal hard drive, i.e. a 2.5 inch one, and then it definitely won't fit in here.

Just because an SSD is connected via M.2 does not automatically mean that the SSD is fast. The 860 EVO M.2 uses AHCI (=slow) as data protocol and not NVMe (=fast). This does not show on an M.2. The 860 EVO Basic in the 2.5" version uses AHCI because it is connected via SATA data cable (max 560 MB/s). Besides the difference in the data protocol (AHCI vs NVMe), the 860s also have slower memory components in order to be able to offer the lower price. Such storage is sufficient as a data grave, but you should not use it as a system disk with Windows on it just to save a few francs. And be careful. Not all M.2 slots on mainboards support both protocols (AHCI and NVMe). You should therefore check before buying whether they can be used at all.

Hello, yes that fits.

Hello, unfortunately no screw included.

Yes it should work as the Board has 2 x M.2 Socket with M Key

Unfortunately, I have not found a data sheet for your old M.2 hard disk. In my opinion, they are compatible with each other. Both have the B&M key and visually both have the 2280 mass. If your notebook doesn't have the latest protocols and encryption, then you just can't use the full performance. That is the only thing. Just remember the ESD regulations when you open the notebook.

The SSD mentioned above is used in a Lenovo notebook, hence the M.2 2280 version. Whether the PC can also handle this SATA version and recognise the SSD would have to be checked with Acer.

No, it doesn't come with it, it usually comes with the motherboard.

It definitely fitted into an MBA from 2012 (with adapter for connection) and has been running stably for some time.

According to my information, this should be compatible. PS: In which device should the SSD be installed?

I think that should work... I have 4 Samsung M2 SSD in my QNAP TVS-1282T3 as cache... BUT: the exact type is crucial for compatibility! So please check the QNAP homepage, there is a chart for each compatible type. Good luck

This will probably not work with an 860 EVO, as the Macbooks from 2015 onwards do not support the AHCI SSD protocol. Your Macbook Pro should support the NVME protocol - that would be a Samsung 960 EVO (or 970 EVO - I'll try that in the next few days). Anyway, you need an SSD adapter to PCIe (M2 adapter card to Mac SSD 12+16 pin).
