What is NVMe and why should you be using it?  Solid State Drives (SSDs) are many times faster than previous interfaces, such as SATA or AHCI, could support and the interface itself has been the bottleneck, slowing down overall drive speed.  The NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) interface was developed from the ground up by a consortium of SSD-related manufacturers specifically for Solid State Drives (SSDs) attached to the PCI Express (PCIe) bus and takes full advantage of their super-fast architecture, parallelism, and extremely low latencies when compared to prior storage interfaces.  NVMe was also designed to be more efficient and require fewer CPU cycles which, in addition to its already ultra-high read and write performance speeding up your Mac Pro, your machine will feel even zippier and be able to get other work done more quickly because fewer CPU cycles are spent managing storage. Apple has actually supported NVMe storage on the Mac since 2016, but only on certain machines.  The latest macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) update enables the 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Mid 2015) to also take advantage of the super-fast and more efficient NVMe interface.  The MCE 2TB PCIe-based NVMe Flash Storage SSD 4 lane (x4) Upgrade Solution for the 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Mid 2015) represents the fastest, highest capacity drive ever created for the MacBook Pro. In addition to the 2TB NVMe SSD, this upgrade includes all the necessary tools to perform the upgrade as well as an illustrated installation and upgrade guide. Everything you need to upgrade your machine is included.
