No.

The pin arrangement on MacBook SSDs are proprietary and aren't compatible with M.2.

Would you expect anything else from Apple?
Looks like MyDD is walking down the price $5 at a time until everything is sold.

If that Amazon promo code is still working for the same price, the regular free shipping from Amazon works much faster than Newegg most of the time. When Newegg uses the cheapest UPS option, UPS seems to make sure that it is never delivered faster even if it means it sits in a nearby town for a day or two.

I have been surprised by UPS shipments fulfilled Amazon arriving much earlier even without Prime. Amazon probably has a better arrangement with UPS.

Not trying to pitch Amazon, just an observation based on my experience.
Got this drive the last time around. Speeds are actually faster than my 1tb hp ex920 nvme drive.

This has been a perfect drive for my OS for my laptop along with a second nvme Inland 1tb installed.

If you want a super fast drive for your OS and a few games then this is perfect. I recommend.

Mine came with all stats at zero and works like new.

High quality drive. Sounds like it is between the 960 evo and 960 pro.

It's the equivalent of a 960 Pro. Uses MLC NAND. Samsung never released an OEM model for the 970 Pro (in case anyone was wondering).

Amazon (without prime) just calculates the shipping time and refuses to ship it until it is a couple of days before the estimated delivery date. I had one order sit for a week, with the items all in stock.

Saw some articles that showed it slower than the pro on release. Maybe it sped up with further firmware. I'm fairly ignorent on them.

Supposedly hackers in China figured out a way to reset the stats on these drives.

This has been on Amazon for a while now. Actually, last night there was like 15 left and looks like people discovered it earlier cuz i watched it dwindle down to like 4 left in literally 2 hours. They may have more though. I got mines for $39.99, but with my prime shipping i will get mines in one day. Newegg will take minimum a few days and thats IF you have the premiere account. If you dont, look at maybe 3-5 days. Amazon was worth it for me to pay the extra 5 bucks. I normally abuse Amazon with shipping and sometimes returning as we all do, so paying the extra 5 bucks i felt was fair.
