As long as the drive is not the Plus version, you may be able to use an adapter in order to use that SSD in your MacPro6,1:

I have not tried this, but am, currently, researching a fix for a machine in my care.
Yes—works very well with the Sintech adaptor (and even with an EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink — use thermal paste for longevity!).
Just did this yesterday and it’s a great/fast/easy upgrade.
Do you need a heat sink in the SSD?
The stock (Samsung) drive(s) that shipped (from Apple) with these machines do not; unless the black, outer covering helps with heat. [???]
I have had both a Samsung MZ-JPU256T/0A1 (256GB) and Samsung MZ-KPU1T0T/0A1 (1TB) installed in my machine without issue.
Third-party drives may include or heatsink and/or require at least 10.13 (High Sierra).
You don’t *need* one, strictly speaking, but at best your SSD will get throttled in terms of speed and at worst it’s lifespan will be reduced.
That black outer covering on the original drive IS a heatsink.
Is it possible to buy the screw separately?
I need to clone my stock drive 256Gb Samsung SSD currently in my Mac Pro to the new 1TB OWC SSD Pro X2 drive meant to replace it. But, there are no enclosures listed specifically for the Mac Pro. I have only found this for the Macbook Pro, on the compatibility chart does not list Mac Pro.
MacBook Pro and MacBook Air (Mid 2013 to Early 2015) Blade SSD Upgrade Bundle
I am wondering will it do the job for the Mac Pro, can anyone confirm ?
