[QUOTE="MacDr, post: 1790202, member: 140857"] You can get the adapter on eBay, here is the link: [url]https://www.ebay.com/itm/112615200702?ul_noapp=true&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true[/url] and then you can use a Samsung 950 PRO 512GB NVMe M.2 drive. Here's the link to one: [url]https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-950-Pro-512GB-NVMe-PCIe-M-2-SSD-MZ-V5P512BW-RETAIL/142743170412?epid=219515953&hash=item213c27ed6c:g:dyoAAOSw7WJawn7K[/url] Before installing these though, I would recommend making a bootable Mac OS X high sierra installer thumb drive first then install everything and boot off the thumb drive. Then you can use disk utility to format the new NVMe M.2 drive and then install the OS. I detailed what I did to my 2013 and 2015 MacBook Air here: [url]https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macbook-air-2017-ssd-compatibility-with-samsung-ssd.2099405/[/url] The new NVMe M.2 drive provides 3x the speed improvement over the original Apple drives. I love the improved performance of my new drive. [/QUOTE]
