Heat sink for Apple Mac Pro SSD

Yeah, I gave up on trying to find one which would work. I don't have the revision numbers now but I'd sure stay away from all those Ebay statements which say can run in more than just the 2013 Mac Pro. I have a late 2013 rMBPro and a 2013 Mac Pro and even though the rMBPro has just about identical model number except its 500 gig not 256 gig it only runs at 2 lane on the Mac Pro. The Mac Pro 256 would only run at 2 lane on the rMBPro even though it runs at 4 lane on the Mac Pro.

My Mid-2015 rMBP ran it on 4 lanes (I think) cus it was doing around 1500 mb/s R/W in BMDT. And so does the nMP after yesterdays swap. I have it in now without the "sink". Read on iFixit that a user just put it in without and it's fine. Says he did removed it with a blowdryer at 80 degrees C. And thinks it's not even a heatsink, just protection of some kind.

SOLVED: How did you remove the SSD metal cover? - Mac Pro Late 2013 - iFixit

I have not seen anything about moving a heatsink.

I would find one with a heatsink

I have not done this myself but I have seen elsewhere comments from people saying that they have used SSDs even without the heatsink attached in a new Mac Pro. The general comment seems to be that trying to remove the heatsink from an old SSD is difficult and may result in damage.

I have to say I am also finding it confusing to work out the relationship between these product codes. There are actually two different codes on these SSDs, one is the MZ-KPV1T00 or MZ-KPU1TOT each followed by a revision number, and the other is 665-1860 followed by a letter.

I am currently guessing one of these codes refers to the model and revision, and the other refers to which model Mac it is for. As a result I have seen 665-1860D listed on both a MZ-KPV1T00 and a MZ-KPU1TOT with the implication that the 665-1860D is a 1TB SSD for a particular model Mac, and the MZ numbers are the different generations and revisions of SSD. As you are probably aware the 2015 model/revisions are twice as fast as the 2013/14 versions and they in turn are faster than previous ones.

As a result I believe that a MZ-KPU1TOT/0A6 (2013/2014 model) is actually older and slower than a MZ-KPV1T00-0A3 (2015 model)

Note: There also seems to be a MZ-KPV1T0R-OA2 which I believe to be another 2013/2014 model

Hi im looking for the same sink. Did a swap between a rMBP and a Mac Pro 2013 and now that one has no sink.. did you find anything?
