Will a M.2 SSD work in my MacBook Pro?
Will the M.2 version of the Samsung 850 EVO work in the MacBook pro early 2015 with an adaptor for the proprietary connector?
I mean, can the MacBook Pro early 2015 boot from a SSD drive?
Update (06/21/2017)
I forgot to comment about the OWC option. They are meant to be compatible and work perfectly on a Macbook. However, as far as I know they are not OPAL compliant in order to encrypt the ssd.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Here's a good write-up on OPAL: The Pros and Cons of Opal Compliant Drives
Apple currently offers self-encrypting drives (SED) as well as folders within the OS natively via FileVault services. Use FileVault to encrypt the startup disk on your Mac. I might add High Sierra will be doing this natively with the new APFS. Heres a bit more: Wikipedia - Apple File System APFS
As far as OWC Aura SSD support for FileVault here is what they say: OWC Enclosures, Drive Docks, & SSDs: FileVault and BitLocker Support (2017)
We don't use Apple's FileVault services or any other full drive encryption service as its too hard to recover data. Instead we use encryption keys (USB) and discreet file/folder encryption.
