MacBook SSD Upgrade Kit

This Vszerda adapter card converts a standard M.2 NVME SSD into a compatible module for MacBook Air models from 2013 through 2017 and select Retina MacBook Pro units up to 2015. It targets owners who need far more internal storage than the original Apple blade drive provides. The kit is a DIY solution for enthusiasts, creative professionals and gamers who want a high-capacity boot drive without replacing the computer. Installation reuses the original MacBook slot and requires no soldering.

PCIe Blade Form Factor

The adapter adopts the exact physical footprint of the factory Apple SSD so it seats directly in the existing connector with no cables or brackets. Its gold-finger edge connector mates with the MacBook PCIe lane, delivering full NVME throughput to the system. Because the board is passive, it adds no active components that could fail or require firmware updates. Daily use feels identical to the stock drive — the Mac simply sees a larger, faster volume after the macOS 10.13 High Sierra requirement is met.

Replaces Proprietary Apple SSD

This card replaces the soldered or proprietary Apple blade SSD found in MacBook Air 11-inch A1465, 13-inch A1466, MacBook Pro 13-inch A1502, 15-inch A1398 and Mac Pro ME253 or MD878 models. It supports popular M.2 NVME drives such as the Samsung 960 EVO, 970 EVO and PRO, WD Black, Crucial P1, HP EX920, ADATA SX8200 and Intel 600p series. The upgrade is not suitable for machines stuck on macOS versions earlier than 10.13 High Sierra or for users who cannot perform the required OS update before installation.
