Macbook early 2015 not accepting SSD

[Fasauceome]

Currently working on getting a 1TB Samsung 970 Evo into a Macbook pro retina. I am currently using this adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/Convert-Adapter-Upgrade-MacBook-2013-2017

The drive is detected in Windows and can be formatted properly. However when booting, the volume does not show up in the disk utility and can't be installed to from the internet backup function.

The adapter says to update to version 10.13 or later, presumably for firmware compatibility.

 

 

 

 

Is there an explicit compatibility issue with this drive and this macbook? I went on some apple forums and say accounts of people using this hardware combination just fine.

Internet recovery can be picky. Have you tried making a bootable USB?

Were they using the exact adapter?

I've got a couple USBs that I've used on other macs that apparently aren't bootable options, but can be read by the internet recovery option as locations for install and formatting.

No, were the people you referenced using this exact combo using the same adapter.

Oh no I didn't see people mention the adapter they were using at all which lead me to believe it didn't really matter, but since it's a cheap adapter my current plan is to send it back and get a different one 

 

If you know one that is sure to work you can link it here

I don't (my Macs are all desktops) but it could be the problem.
