I deal with advanced amateurs, students and pro's who do photo, video and music production.

If you are a pro under deadlines getting hit by this bullet is not what you want! Now someone who fails to be a good at backing up may end up having a sizable loss.

The probability increases! So as the drive is more used and full the risk increases! Think of it this way You have a 1000 bullet chamber with a few bullets scattered so the chance of getting shot is present but its not easy! Now let's reduce the chamber to 500, then 250 and then 75. Yes! day one the M.2 SSD will work! But as you use your system if you put your system to sleep (closing the lid) while some of these processes are running you can leave incomplete recovery of the cell block. These lines involve sleep mode, garbage collection and TRIM services. The biggest issue with M.2 SSD's is the simple fact Apple has lines between the SSD controller and the logic board the M.2 and adapter have no concept of dealing with. Part of the problem is similar to what got Intel into trouble pushing density without improving the process Node so the cell logic spacing is smaller and runs cooler. The generation of OWC drives is likely what you noted as the early ones did have issues. The reason I just upgraded my own MacBook Pro was because its original SSD - Last year I threw out 30 M.2 SSD's and a few different adapters, many Sintech. It doesnвЂ™t matter what kind of storage you use, sooner or later, it will fail-100% guaranteed. As for the issue of losing data, everyone knows if you donвЂ™t back up your data, youвЂ™re asking for trouble. Sabrent 2280 sticks are some of the lowest wattage SSDвЂ™s on the market today.

The biggest reason I didnвЂ™t upgrade my memory years ago with OWC was out of concern for overheating. (My kitty once urinating on my old receiver not withstanding!) So MarcoвЂ™s concern for overheating is quite understandable. I built my first computer back in 1979, and I can confidently say heat is the biggest enemy of electronics. OWC upgrades, on the other hand, have a reputation for problems, particularly regarding overheating. In fact, Sabrent 2280вЂ™s seem to be quite reliable. In my own research, IвЂ™ve found no widespread reports of failures using recent M.2 adapters from Sintech, especially when paired with Sabrent 2280вЂ™s. I very rarely get apps to hang and overall found this to be a great rig for a fraction of the cost of a new MBP.

I regularly have at least 8-10 apps open at all times, Firefox browser with at least 200 tabs open, Mail, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Zoom and various audio apps (Logic, ProTools or Live, Loopback, Dante etc.) which I use for lecturing.

I started on Mac OS High Sierra (I generally try to be 2 Mac OS behind latest, for stability and compatibility reasons), but IвЂ™ve just upgraded to Mojave without any hiccups. To reassure anyone about my present system: I am quite experienced with Mac upgrades and found it very easy to upgrade the SSD on this system (with the right screwdrivers, of course), IвЂ™ve been running this laptop flat out for about 6 months now, and it is very, very stable. I have found hardly any information at all about such an upgrade on the web, and before I commit to spend another ВЈ500 on an SSD, IвЂ™d like to hear from anyone who might have tried the 4TB configuration (8TB is excessive from any possible point of view!) and ask them if they found the system stable. I am aware that Sabrent manufactures both 4TB and 8TB NVMe M.2 Gen.3 blades, which have similar performance to the (excellent) OWC I own and can be installed in my laptop using the Syntech NGFF to M.2 adapter, but I am concerned about thermal issues with a larger NVME blade, and whether this might cause some erratic behaviour when CPU and GPU get going. My only minor gripe is with the size of the SSD - IвЂ™m not going into detail, but I genuinely need to have more than 2TB of SSD internal storage, my old system had 3TB internal storage (after taking out the CD drive), and had it not been that it was getting too old and slow for my needs, I would have gladly kept it just because it was so easy to upgrade everything. This is an excellent system with great performance, and replaced my previous 13вЂќ MB Pro 2012. I recently purchased a Grade A used 15вЂќ MacBook Pro 11,5 Dual Graphics 2.8GHz 16GB RAM which I have upgraded with the OWC 2TB Aura Pro X2 2TB SSD.
