Mac SSD Adapter

This gender changer connects a standard 2.5 inch SATA 22-pin host connector to legacy Apple SSD modules using 12+6-pin and 17+7-pin interfaces. It supports drives from 2010 to early 2013 MacBook Air, Pro and Retina models including part numbers A1425, A1398, MC975 and MC976. A physical switch selects which pinout is active, so only one SSD operates at a time. The adapter works across operating systems once the drive is formatted for the target platform.

Data recovery and migration

Technicians and owners moving data from supported Mac SSDs to a SATA host will find this tool useful for reading or reformatting the drives. It cannot power both 12+6-pin and 17+7-pin modules simultaneously, so users needing concurrent access to two drives must use separate adapters. Builders working with non-Apple SATA SSDs or newer Mac storage formats will not find the required connectors on this device.

Single active connector

The hardware switch that toggles between the 12+6-pin and 17+7-pin SSD connectors is the decisive specification. Only one legacy Mac SSD can be attached and powered at any moment. If your workflow demands simultaneous dual-drive operation, this adapter does not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12+6pin and 17+7pin connectors without damaging the pins?

Align each connector with its keyed slot on the adapter, then press straight down until fully seated; the switch selects which pinout is active, so set it before powering the host.

Will the switch mechanism wear out after repeated changes between 12+6pin and 17+7pin SSDs?

The switch is a simple mechanical slider rated for typical user cycles; avoid forcing it and keep the adapter free of dust to maintain reliable contact.

What speed limit appears first when copying large files continuously through the SATA 7+15pin host link?

The SATA host connection caps sustained throughput at the interface's native ceiling, so extended transfers will plateau there regardless of the Mac SSD's own rating.
