Chosen Solution
I bought a MacBook Pro 13-inch i7 3.1GHz which has the very fast SSD (1300 Mb/s) Can I put that SSD into my Late 2015 iMac 5k? Will it work at its maximum speed?
You may have to call Apple on this one. EveryMac doesn’t tell and OWC is not listing one: https://eshop.macsales.com/upgrades/imac… I really need to know the exact MacBook Pro you have. But it looks to me like the 3.1s have on board solder in memory. Standard Storage: 128, 256, 512 GB SSD Std. Storage Speed: 643.6 MB/s/1.3 GB/s* Details: Storage varies depending on the stock “base” configuration before the custom processor is selected.
