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 M.2 NGFF drive. It bridges the proprietary Apple connector to a standard M.2 slot. The part is aimed at users who want to upgrade storage on these specific vintage machines. It is not for owners of later MacBooks that already use native NVMe storage.

Installation requires firm seating

The card must be pushed fully into the MacBook socket until it seats completely. Only PCIe x2 or x4 M.2 NGFF drives work; SATA protocol M.2 drives are incompatible. Novice builders should choose an AHCI protocol drive because it installs with fewer restrictions. Experienced users may use NVMe protocol drives. The adapter is not for anyone unwilling to open the laptop and handle delicate ribbon cables.

Boot drive needs macOS 10.14

The operating system installer must be version 10.14 or higher because older releases lack the required NVMe driver. The target partition must use GPT (GUID) format or the drive will not be recognised during installation. Sleep and wake behaviour varies by drive model; disabling hibernation avoids crashes on some configurations. This adapter is not for users who must keep legacy macOS versions or MBR partitioning.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Vszerda vM2 adapter is working after installing it in my 2014 MacBook Pro A1398?

The Mac should detect the NVMe SSD in Disk Utility; format it as GPT (GUID) and install macOS 10.14 or newer, then verify the drive appears as the startup volume.

What comes in the box and which SSD must I buy separately for a 2013 MacBook Air A1466?

The package includes only the adapter card; you must supply a 2280 PCIe x4 or x2 M.2 NGFF SSD — AHCI protocol for simpler setup, NVMe if you are experienced.

Which SSD protocol should I choose for the Vszerda vM2 in a 2015 MacBook Pro A1502?

Novice users should select a PCIe x4 or x2 M.2 NGFF AHCI SSD; experienced users may use a PCIe x4 NVMe SSD, but never a SATA M.2 drive.
