LORDWORLD PCIe x1 to 12+16 Pin SSD Adapter 2013-2017 Mac Pro Air

SKU CH-BD7K-47G6Q

Converts Apple 12+16-pin SSDs from 2013-2017 MacBook Pro, Air and Mac Pro models to a single-lane PCIe x1 slot with standard bracket

  • Adapts Apple 12+16 pin SSDs to a PCIe x1 slot
  • Delivers up to 5 Gbps throughput via single-lane PCI Express
  • Fits 2013-2015 MacBook Pro, Air and Mac Pro models
  • Includes a standard PCI bracket for secure desktop installation
  • Requires a Z97 or later motherboard running Windows 10 or later

Purpose and audience

This adapter lets a desktop motherboard with a PCIe x1 slot read and write Apple proprietary SSDs that use the 12+16 pin connector. It targets technicians or enthusiasts who need to recover data or repurpose drives from compatible MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or Mac Pro models released between 2013 and 2017. The card includes a standard PCI bracket for secure mounting in a full-size chassis.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

Builders with a Z97 or later motherboard running Windows 10 or later can install the card and access supported Apple SSDs directly. Users whose drives have a different pin layout, who lack a free PCIe x1 slot, or who need to boot from the Apple SSD on non-Apple hardware will not be served by this product. The SSD itself is not included and must be sourced separately.

Build integration

The single-lane PCIe 1x interface delivers up to 5 Gbps bandwidth, so the host system must provide a compatible slot and meet the Z97 chipset minimum. A standard bracket fits typical tower cases, while the low-profile connector leaves adjacent slots clear. No extra power cables are required, freeing the builder from additional PSU connections.
