The Samsung "EVO" series SSDs do not enjoy a good reputation among Mac users.


I suggest shopping for an SSD from OWC / MacSales: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ssd/owc/macbook-air/2013-2014-2015 They make internal and external SSDs that are guaranteed to work.


Other options are possible, but you should avoid PC-centric vendors that do not support Macs.
