Mac Air SSD Adapter

Trig · 25 Nov 2019 at 13:31

I've recently been given an SSD out of a MacAir, however, as I don't have a Mac the drive is of little use to me, but I cant check or clean it before/if I sell it.

I've had a look on the bay and found a few adapters, but the ones I've seen don't convert directly from the SSD to SATA/USB or something else useful.

Anyone got any kit they've used before or something I can do with the drive?

I used the one below for a drive I got that I needed to wipe to put in my Mac (from windows) and for a few quid even if it broke after 1 use it wouldn’t have been the end of the world.

Pretty sure that riser cards not got the same connectors lol, I'll have to check now tho as I have a load of risers from the mining days..

They won't work at all. Whats the model of the laptop that it was in or show us a photo of the drive. You might need a m.2 caddy something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/OWC-Envoy-USB-powered-enclosures/dp/B008GC7A8O
