I’m not a lover of these adapters, I’ve pulled quite a few out with damaged SSDs.

I would stick with either a real Apple SSD or get either an OWC or Transcend SSD which are direct replacements with no adapter.

In any case you first need to upgrade you maOS to High Sierra or newer before you do anything as the OS has the required drivers.
