Just upgrade my mid-2015 Macbook Pro 15 Retina SSD (11,4) from 256 to 960GB (1TB), FYI, the ssd I used is ADATA SX8200NP, and adapter is from Amazon, Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card For Upgrade 2013-2015 MacBook. Everything works well except the SMART data is not available, but it hurts nothing as I regularly sync over time machine.

My iMac11,3 was upgraded to Xeon X3450 last month, everything works well except two places: 1. in system profile it sill show as i3, but other info is correct, e.g. 8MB cache; 2. Process monitor displays only one thread on the bar, but system use 8 threads; it is recognized and utilized correctly by BOINC under OS X and BootCamp Windows 8 So, conclusion is, for 27 iMac i3/i5 owners, go ahead replace it with 1156 Xeons. It is almost half priced of i7 -860/870. Hope this helps someone in confusion.

EVO 860 is SATA, it will not work. Macbook pro needs nvme ssd. Just finish my upgrade using ADATA SX8200NP 960GB (ASX8200NP-960GT-C), and adapter is from Amazon, “Sintech NGFF M.2 nVME SSD Adapter Card For Upgrade 2013-2015 MacBook”. Both works like charm. Only issue is that SMART status is unavailable.
