I have it installed in an old Mac (Late 2013) I wouldn't know the answer to this question for sure, but probably it's not compatible, ifixit.com is always good advice on this kind of dilemma. Codially

Helpful answer

With the JetDrive 850, you only get the SSD. If you also need an external housing for your old SSD, then you have to buy the JetDrive 855. Please check on the Transcend website which SSD is compatible with your Appe device and install the latest operating system on the device (Catalina or Big Sur). JetDrive 850 needs a firmware update which was installed with High Sierra 10.13. Otherwise the SSD 850/85 will not work. Otherwise the SSD 850/855 will not be recognised. If you want to use an operating system older than Hig Sierra, you should buy JetDrive 820/825. The product name with the 5 at the end is always with external enclosure. When you install the SSD, format the SSD first to APFS/GUID (850/855) in recovery mode with the hard disk utility. Greetings and good luck

Most likely as it worked for me in Macbook Pro Retina 13 Early-2015. However do search and read carefully the instructions. I have returned the disk for a reduced refund. The disk required a recent macOS. Unfortunately the built-in online recovery in my Macbook started to download El Capitan which could not recognise the drive. The only way to install the drive in an older Macbook is to restore a Time Machine backup with an up-to-date macOS onto the drive.

Hello Goromir. The iMac has a SATA III port and an 8.0 GT/s PCIe x4 port. The SSD fits into the second port. However, as an Apple authorised partner, I do not recommend installing it yourself. The iMac has to be completely disassembled for this, which is not so easy. Greetings rep-it GmbH

Poss. applicable to your case: https://www.macwelt.de/a/mehr-speicher-fuer-das-macbook-air-aufruesten,3440257 You may also want to replace the battery at the same time. If the machine still meets your needs, these are relatively minor and relatively inexpensive upgrades that you can do yourself. If you buy a new Macbook 12" today, you won't notice a huge jump in performance.
