Apple MacBook SSD Adapter

The SMUGDESK AP01 converts the proprietary 12+16pin NVMe SSD from 20132017 MacBook Air and Pro models into a standard desktop MKey interface. It targets users who want to repurpose an old Apple laptop drive as internal storage on a PC motherboard.

20Gbps PCIe 5.0 Bandwidth

The adapter supports up to 20Gbps data transfer, matching PCIe 5.0 level throughput for fast read and write speeds. Performance will be limited by the original Apple SSD's own controller rather than the adapter itself.

12+16pin to MKey Conversion

The single deciding specification is the exclusive 12+16pin connector that fits only 20132017 MacBook NVMe NGFF modules. Builders with M.2 drives from other laptops or standard NVMe SSDs cannot use this card.

Questions about this item

Will this AP01 adapter let me use my 12+16pin MacBook 20132017 NVMe SSD in a desktop MKey slot?

Yes, the AP01 converts the Apple 12+16pin NVMe NGFF SSD to a standard MKey interface so it works in a desktop motherboard.

How can I confirm the AP01 is running at the advertised 20Gbps after installation?

Run a sequential read or write test in a disk benchmark tool; sustained speeds near 20Gbps show the PCIe 5.0 link is active.

Does the AP01 package include the 12+16pin MacBook SSD or only the adapter card?

Only the AP01 adapter card is included; the 12+16pin NVMe SSD from your MacBook 20132017 must be supplied separately.
