Mac SSD Adapter for 2013-2015 Models

This Vszerda adapter converts Apple proprietary 12+16-pin SSDs from 2013, 2014 and 2015 MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and Mac Pro models to a standard M.2 NVME M-key interface. It provides a 4-lane PCI Express connection with throughput up to 5 Gbps. The card enables these drives to be used in compatible M-key slots on other systems.

For Owners of Listed Apple SSDs Only

The adapter suits users who have a qualifying Apple SSD with 16+12-pin contacts from the specified model years and need to connect it to an M-key M.2 slot supporting PCI-E 4x or 2x. It will not work with B-key or B+M-key sockets, nor can it convert the drive to USB or SATA interfaces. Buyers without a compatible Apple SSD or an M-key slot should look elsewhere.

M-Key Slot and PCI-E Lane Requirement

The single deciding specification is that the host must provide an M.2 M-key socket with PCI Express 4x or 2x electrical support. Without this exact slot type and lane configuration, the adapter cannot function regardless of the drive or system.
