I also decided to preinstall a fresh copy of macOS Catalina on it to expedite the process of using the bootable USB drive. I want to believe that it may be a faulty adapter so I am receiving a replacement adapter that should be here in a couple of days and hopefully that would work. I thought that would fix the issue but it still didn’t show up on disk utility after that. I found out that I didn’t format the Sabrent SSD right but after a quick format to the drive using an enclosure I fixed that problem. I finally received the adapter however, the SSD was not found in disk utility when I was booting from a bootable USB drive to install macOS. I decided to go with the Sabrent 1TB SSD in the 2242 form factor. ), from it's specs it looks like you could work directly from it.I am fairly new to this and about a month ago I found out about this adapter and wanted to upgrade because I am running out of space on my current drive. There is a third option - use the Sabrent's Rocket external SSD(. ) and any of the NVMe PCIe M.2 2242 or 2232 Gen3 SSD drive (form factor is important). ) - search for 'A1708 SSD 1Tb' there to get the best rate.Īlso you could go with the adapter HFHK N-1708A (price fell to around 4 Euros for one adapter on Aliexpress. I see that the prices fell to around 450 Euros for the 1Tb drive(. For Apple's drives the best price will be from AliExpress.

) on the upgrading the drive sounds a bit much imho. But if you add into the equation the fact that you're going to update A1708, which is obsolete, spending seven hundreds (. Usually 1Tb variety is more potent in terms of the write speed so great choice.
