This should work because an NVME SSD is supported (the original Toshiba XG6 KXG6AZNV512G, 512 GB is inside).
M.2 2280 SSD, NVMe)!
No

Unfortunately, I had already ordered the EVO: the connections are definitely not correct (MacBook Air early 2015). Thanks anyway for the tip, maybe it will help others.
Sleep & Hibernate should be turned off in the OS because sometimes the system drive is not found after waking up. I leave the MacBook plugged in or turn it off if I don't have a charging option within 12 hours of fully charging the battery.
Yes
your corsair is a sata 3 ssd and the samsung 970 evo is a pcie ssd (nvme) therefore this is not possible these are 2 different interfaces

your mainboard "only" supports pcie ssd on sata basis

That won't work. The 970 is an NVMe Ssd and not SATA. It is not supported with this adapter. You would have to use a PCI Express adapter. However, these are not supported by every mainboard.
I had no problems with the ROG STRIX Z370-F GAMING.

To expand the memory, you have to remove the installed SSHD/HDD. You then "have" to replace it with a 2.5" sATA SSD. The Samsung 970 EVO is not suitable for this, as it has a so-called M.2 form factor.
Helpful answer
I think it is not compatible because it is an NVMe SSD. You should use an M2 Sata 3.
No, I've been looking for that for a while too. There are Nvme adapters with Thunderbolt that directly extend the PCI-E interface from the port, so to speak. But an adapter chip that converts the PCI-E signal of the Nvme to USB does not yet exist.

Can you name the model of your board? There are also various z170 boards that can only read the SATA protocol, in which case this NVMe SSD will not work.
1.) bios version current ??
2.) bios default values already loaded ??
3.) ssd driver from samsung installed ??
4.) what else do you have installed in your computer ??
5.) do you want to clone the operating system to the 970?
Yes, I have it installed and it works perfectly.

No macbook do not need the normal m.2 standard. You need to use these: Transcend JetDrive 820 (480GB)

Apparently there are adapters from M.2 to SATA. I simply searched for "M.2 SATA" at digitec. However, you will only reach the maximum speed of your SATA controller, so this will be a bottleneck. Unfortunately, this means that the fast, new technology of the M.2 SSD is of no use to you.

The best way to do this is to contact the customer service...

Delock M.2 SATA SSD to USB.3.1 TypeC Enclosure (M.2)
Yes, as the motherboard supports two M.2 hard drives

According to the specification, it should work. The interface is M2 PCIe and the length is 2280, which I think fits.
