MacBook SSD adapter for 2013-2015 models

This adapter lets owners of MacBook Air and Pro models A1465, A1466, A1502 and A1398 install a 2280 PCIe x4 or x2 M.2 NGFF drive. It bridges the proprietary Apple slot to a standard M.2 connector so the laptop can use faster solid-state storage. Buyers who need SATA M.2 drives cannot use this card.

Capacity and protocol limits

The card accepts PCIe x4 and x2 SSDs using either AHCI or NVMe protocol. AHCI drives are simpler to set up and are recommended for first-time installers. NVMe drives work for experienced users but require macOS 10.14 or newer for native driver support. SATA protocol M.2 drives are not compatible and will not be recognised.

Included hardware and setup notes

The package contains only the adapter card itself; no drive, screws or tools are supplied. The card must be seated firmly into the MacBook's SSD slot until fully inserted. Installers must format the target drive with a GPT partition table before beginning the OS installation. Sleep and hibernation behaviour varies by drive model, so disabling sleep is advised if wake issues appear.

Questions about this item

Will this adapter let my 2013 MacBook Pro A1398 run a 2280 PCIe x4 NVMe drive?

The card converts a 2280 PCIe x4 or x2 M.2 NGFF SSD to the proprietary slot used in 2013–2015 MacBook Air and Pro models A1465 A1466 A1502 A1398.

How do I verify the drive is recognised after installing macOS 10.14 or later?

Open Disk Utility or System Information; the NVMe volume should appear with a GPT partition map and be selectable as a startup disk.

Does the package include an M.2 SSD or only the adapter board?

Only the adapter card is included; a compatible PCIe x2 or x4 AHCI or NVMe M.2 2280 drive must be purchased separately.
