I'm sharing my experience of upgrading the internal SSD on my early-2015 13" retina macbook pro to an ADATA SX8200 PRO with the help of a sintech M.2 NGFF SSD adapter.
This same method will be applicable to Macbook Pro units from late-2013 to mid-2015, and Macbook Air devices from mid-2013 to early-2017 models.
Time stamps (skip ahead to your desired section):
0:00:09 - I/O speeds for the stock SSD
0:00:18 - Opening the chasis
0:02:26 - Cleaning the heatsink
0:03:37 - Applying new thermal paste
0:06:08 - Search and rationale for a replacing the SSD
0:09:03 - Installing the new SSD
0:10:11 - Booting from a USB installer and formating the new SSD
0:11:13 - Restoring from Time Machine backup
0:11:43 - I/O speeds for the new drive.
