Intel 660/760p: some people experienced similar battery life than the original SSD, but some of them mentioned it's even worse than ADATA.Ĭrucial P1: A slightly slower SSD (QLC) and some people mentioned it has very low power consumption (close to the original one) but very few mentioned so I'm not brave enough.Īnd after all there is still issue with sleep/hibernation. Keeping the battery life as long as possible is very important to me and it seems 3rd party SSDs are consuming more power although faster, more recent, cheaper and even warranty is available.ĪDATA SX8200 (pro or not pro): seems reliable but consume 5-10% more power than the original SSD. That's convinced me that I'd rather go for a used Apple SSD. I've read back and forth the whole thread what you linked (I also linked in my post). Thanks a lot for your comment! It's pretty new to me that Apple SSDs speed also determined by the size. But if it's the same, then I rather buy an SSUBX. If even SSUAX could be faster than this, then I'd go for it because it's cheaper. I saw in System report somewhere it's stated as a SanDisk based f-series SSD. It seems pretty slow and I measured 300/500MB/s with Blackmagic speedtest. My question is that my drive is the 'SSUAX' version or even older than that one? I don't know if I can find out somehow. In this mentioned thread people are claimed that Apple Samsung 'SSUAX' and 'SSUBX' drives are working with late 2013 - mid 2014 macbooks (which are stated as original drives). I read the huge SSD upgrade thread here and I convinced myself that I'd rather upgrade my macbook with an original but used SSD from amazon or ebay due to the possible problems like extra power consumption and sleep issues.

Is it the original one? The seller told me that it is. Recently I bought a used 13' rMBP 2014 and it seems this is the type of SSD in it: Apple SSD sd0128F
