The original Apple SSD would have had a heatsink fitted to it, in general third-party SSD drives do not have heatsinks fitted to them and therefore under heavy usage in a Mac Pro 2013 might overheat, this is why Smokerz discussed using the Intel power gadget to check heat output.Samsung no longer seem to make or sell older AHCI SSD drives.What Smokerz has shown is that the Mac Pro 2013 supports booting from an NVMe type SSD, the older classic Mac Pro models do not support booting from NVMe drives and can only boot from older AHCI SSD drives.The Sintech adapter converts from the proprietary Apple connector to a standard M2 connector thereby allowing you to fit standard M2 PCIe SSD drives like the Samsung 970 Evo.The original Apple SSD uses a proprietary connector but other than that is a standard M2 PCIe SSD.Apple themselves do not sell SSDs as upgrades for existing Mac Pro 2013 models, so if you originally got 256GB then Apple will not let you buy a 512GB or 1TB drive.Thanks for your answer Smokerz it was very helpful. I'm going to try it again but I'm not hung up on this one. I'm thinking that I did not pull the battery connector and that might have caused an SMC problem which I could not clear. So I pulled it and replaced the Apple default and got it back to normal.

Ps I did try this on my late 2013 rMBPRO, it took my install but remained screen black but turned on and would not boot. Keep that default around in case you need to make any other firmware update. But if over time it does then I'll just swap in my Apple default. I'm pretty sure heat will not be a big issue especially not using a program such a Handbrake. If you read the Samsung readme found online they spout off about their superior product to control heat. I have not used a heat sink on the Samsung.

Not going to do the job.Ĥ- the 2013 Mac Pro boots, sleeps and wakes properly.Ħ- ASP shows link width as 4 another amazingħ- HEAT I used Intel power gadget to measure and the heat difference between the Apple default and this Samsung was one degree, This was placing stress using Handbrake on one full encode. Don't even use Disk Utility to try and make it an HFS disk. Seat it properly then only install either High Sierra or Mojave onto that Samsung.

You are trying to get the latest firmware update into that computer.ģ- I used the Simtech with the Samsung 970 NVMe placed into it. I''ve being using this set up for about two weeks on my late 2013 Mac Pro: my initiation to get it done properly is as follows:ġ- Save you data to start because you'll be removing the default Apple internal SSD.Ģ- just make sure BEFORE swapping the SSD that with High Sierra with all Security updaters or Mojave was installed on that computer before pulling the default SSD.
