MacBook SSD Adapter 2013-2017

This JEYI adapter lets owners of 2013 to 2017 MacBook Air, Pro and Mac Pro models replace the original 16+12-pin SSD with a standard PCIe card. It fits x4, x8 and x16 slots and does not support x1 or x2 links. The card is new and intended for internal storage upgrades.

Sustained PCIe 5.0 Throughput

The adapter carries a full PCIe 5.0 x4 link rated at 128 Gbps and remains backward compatible with 4.0, 3.0 and 2.0. Maximum speed is only reached when the host, slot and drive all support Gen 5; otherwise the link negotiates to the highest common generation.

Gold Contacts and Thermal Profile

Fifty-micron gold-plated contacts improve signal stability and oxidation resistance over long use. The passive design adds no fan noise and draws negligible power beyond the installed SSD, keeping thermals dependent on the drive and host airflow.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter draw enough power to make my MacBook run hotter during long sessions?

The adapter itself is a passive board with 50µm gold-plated contacts and no active cooling, so it adds negligible heat beyond the SSD you install.

What must my MacBook already have for this adapter to function?

Your 2013–2017 MacBook Air or Pro must use the proprietary 16+12‑pin SSD connector; the adapter plugs directly into that slot.

Will a PCIe 3.0 SSD work at full speed in this PCIe 5.0 adapter on my 2015 MacBook Pro?

The adapter is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0, 3.0 and 2.0, so a PCIe 3.0 drive will operate at its native 3.0 speeds.
