We built it for fun, the original thoughts when this project started was just because we want to have an ideal laptop that we can use for ourselves modular, upgradable, repairable these models are known for its high repairability rate and its parts are cheap, so they're easy to maintain for everyday use for a repair shop like us. This modification also proves that PCIe lanes can be hijacked using the same principle, so we literally can connect any PCIe device(GPU, Thunderbolt 3, NVMe) to our Mac! Technically the same method can be used to newer Macs with Intel PCIe lanes. NVMe drives are also known for its longer lifetime and higher TBW(TeraBytesWritten) comparing to SATA SSD. NVMe SSD is 6x times much faster(max +-3000MB/s read&write) than standard SATA SSD(max +-500MB/s read&write).įor 2011 model, the Max NVMe speed is +-1500MB/s of Read & Write. Other reason to install this to your MacBook? With the correct Distribution Board, the PCIe port can also be connected to an external GPU(X-GPU mod) for higher graphic performance. By default Apple only allow a maximum of 2x internal storage(SATA SSDs) to be connected to the SATA ports, so this modification adds the 3rd storage(NVMe SSD). This is a DIY project intended for enthusiast with advanced soldering skills to add NVMe SSD to the MacBook Pro 2011/2012.
