Insulate the SSD with tape on both sides to avoid problems

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi everyone. i'm having trouble to find my new 1t ssd sabrent, i've done just like most of the folks here. any thoughts? is it the adapter?**
A: Hi - I bought an external usb case and imaged over my old drive before I installed into my MacBook pro 2016.  All went fine and it booted ok.  I used carbon copy cloner to clone my drive.

**Q: Does this support double sided 2242 nvme drives or only single sided? Do you have a list of compatible drives that have been tested please?**
A: Sabrent rocket nano nvme is DOUBLE-SIDED and it fits perfectly. There is like 0.7 mm gap between ssd and adapter.
On macrumors there is an article about "Upgrading 2013/2014 Macbook Pro SSD to M.2 NVMe" and it contains a list of compatible SSDs but all of them are 2280 types. You COULD fit them but it will only hold with electrical tape... 2242 SSDs are rare, there are a lot of them that are not that fast, so Sabrent is the best for its GB per $. To answer you question:  Unfortunately, I do NOT have a list of compatible SSDs. I am not sponsored by Sabrent in any way. Just a tech enthusiast whose ssd died (Check out my review on SSD!).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ adapter appears to work fairly well
*by N***Y on 4 May 2021*

The fourth adapter I've bought to use with Sabrent SSD, best so far, read and write speeds comparable with original Apple ssd, computer temperature stays low, and boots up while plugged in to charger, seems to go into sleep mode ok, all these issues have been there on other adapters. Only issue now is crashing when computer restarts, not sure if this is the ssd or the adapter.
