@Menchen Ah ok thanks, which SSD should i take ?
an SSD like Crucial MX500 CT500MX500SSD4 or WD BLUE WDS500G2B0B should be work ?

No idea about crucial or WD, I use Samsung 970 evo. With different firmware version across the same ssd it’s hard to recommend. Some people have issue with 970 even though I and more have the same one and it run flawlessly.

Also I have been using 970 evo without any huge problems, but at benchmark it only has more or less 2400 MB/s Write and 2800 MB/s Read. Compared with Windows it has +-3400/3500MB/s read and 2400/2500MB/s Write. I don't know why this happens with MacOs.
Is it something related with a specific firmware?

I had a WD 500gb SATA with MacOS, after one year it died without any explanation... I think it corrupt the firmware I don’t know why.

Some time ago, I found some information about SSD's, only NVMe.
I think that newer MacOS versions aren't 100% prepared for SATA SSDs, because I felt (with Mojave) some times it throttles with some data multitasking (including MacOS data alocation, e.g. installing large apps). Also, I think, older MacBooks that officialy support newer MacOS versions have at least +-1000MB/s Read (Write?) SSDs.

Samsung 970 Evo is a beast, but, now, it’s a bit hard to find, consequently, a bit expensive. If you do not extremely need hight speed, I think Sabrent Rocket it's a good one.

If someone find newer information about it, please share with us.
