For the first time, upgrade the PCIe-based flash SSD in your mid-2013 or later MacBook Pro with Retina display, MacBook Air, or Mac Pro with up to sixteen times the original capacity. The new Aura SSD continues OWC's dedication to giving you more from your Mac.
I'm still here. Nice writeup but unfortunately I gave up on the older technology a few years back. I use to have the early 2008 Mac Pro and I ran 6 internal drives with an internal blu ray optical, three SSD and three platter drives. I do use a Samsung 970 NVMe with the Sintech adaptor or my 2013 Mac Pro. I'm stuck at PVl 2 not 3 and Gt/sec =5 not 8. Both these make world of difference in speed. Although I've learned to accept what I have currently because its better than what I had when I first bought this machine. The only thing I can say about this stuff is its much better NVMe wise on a Mac 2015 or later if the hardware can be addressed.
Which SSD is fastest and best value to get for your Mac Pro? In this video we upgrade our Mac Pro and go through the options - NVME? PCIe SATA3 Card? The factory-installed Samsung PCIe SSD is in the upper right hand corner. The first step to changing over your SSD is to remove the 10 screws on the back cover of your MacBook Pro using a Pentalobe. Most 2013 and later iMacs ship with proprietary PCIe SSDs, many of which are old, slow, and small. Upgrading to an SSD not made by Apple, including common M.2 types, will save you tons of money. 2 days ago The iMac and MacBooks use apple own proprietary SSDs. While most of the time (especially on the newer models) the speed is quite impressive, you might want more storage. Instead of paying for Apple’s own proprietary SSD upgrade it might sound more appealing to go the cheaper NVMe M.2 route.

I can't really help because I don't have the hardware but when I did swap out the SSD in a late 2013 rMBPro with the 2013 Mac Pro SSD the 4 lane default SSD from the Mac Pro only showed 2 lane in the late 2013 MBPro. AND...the SSD from the late 2013 MBPro showed only two lane in the 2013 Mac Pro. BUT....when I swapped out both of these SSD with a Samsung NVMe 970 in either machine it was 4 lane and trim=YES. That was nice. But...the write & Read speed was capped off as Gt/sec =5 and PCl=2 and when I swapped in that Samsung in my mid 2015 MBPro then it showed 4 lane, Trim=YES and Gt/sec =8 and write speed went from 1224 to 2508 and read speed 1438 to 3119. A shame that little 2015 MBPro crushed the 8 core 2013 Mac Pro but that's the way it is...I still have 8 core to over ride so that's worth something to keep hold of...good luck
