512 GB MAC NVMe SSD

This Timetec drive is a 512 GB internal solid-state drive built for Apple computers that accept a PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe module. It targets owners of MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro and Mac Mini models released between 2013 and 2019 who want faster storage without changing their machine.

PCIe Gen3x4 bandwidth limit

The drive connects through a PCIe Gen3x4 link, so its practical ceiling is the bandwidth of that interface rather than the SATA limit. Sequential reads reach up to 2,000 MB/s and writes up to 1,500 MB/s, which is roughly three times the throughput of a SATA SSD. The NVMe protocol and 3D TLC NAND keep latency low during heavy read and write workloads.

macOS 10.13 and EMC check required

Before ordering, verify that the host Mac runs macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later; the SSD will not function on earlier systems. Confirm the exact model by matching the Apple EMC number printed on the chassis to the supported list, which covers specific 11, 13, 15, 21.5 and 27 inch units. Note that Apple Boot Camp on MacBookPro11,1, MacBookAir6,1 and MacBookAir6,2 is not supported.
