Can i use a samsung 860 evo ssd on my macbook pro mid 2012 model?

Hello all. I am using a macbook pro mid 2012 model for 5 years. Recently my hard disk got corrupted and i decided to install a new ssd on my mbp instead of hdd. So i decided to go with the samsung 860 evo version. Please tell me whether this ssd is compatible with my mbp.

Also i need a suggestion on how to retrieve the data from my old hdd.

Thanks in advance.

MacBook Air Mid 2012 SSD Upgrade So I recently bought a 128GB MacBook Air mid 2012, to my knowledge the Samsung 850 evo m2 SSD is compatible but would the Samsung 960 evo m2 also work with the system? It's only a little bit more expensive but can reach speeds up to 3 times higher than the 850 evo

Is My MBP MID 2012 13IN Hard Drive (Samsung 860 EVO) Compatible If installed with OWC Data Doubler in Optical Drive Bay? What I want to do: I want to move my main SSD (Samsung 860 EVO) to the the OWC data doubler install it in the optical bay and install a new SSD into a hard drive bay (Samsung 860 PRO).

There is no way to specify/order this data interface with Apple, but you can confirm what interface version your optical bay offers by using 'About this Mac, More Info, Serial-ATA' info display. My questions: Has anyone used this configuration before? Has anyone installed a SATA lll SSD with data doubler into the hard drive bay of this type of macbook and had no problems? Is my current configuration compatible? My current device configurations:
