MacBook Air SSD Adapter
This BUCIER A1369 adapter converts 2010 and 2011 MacBook Air SSDs to a standard 22-pin SATA interface. It connects the proprietary 12+6 pin module to desktop or laptop systems using a 3.5-inch drive bay or USB cable. No additional power adapter or driver installation is required for operation.
Owners of Compatible 2010-2011 Models
The adapter fits MacBook Air models A1369 and A1370 including part numbers MC503 through MC506 and MC965 through MC969. It supports Toshiba THNSNC and Samsung MZ-CPA series drives in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities. Builders needing to install the SSD into a 2.5-inch bay cannot use this product because the adapter plate exceeds that form factor length.
22-Pin SATA Output Interface
The PCBA converts the MacBook Air SSD directly to a 22-pin SATA connection combining 7 data pins and 15 power pins. It operates with both 3.3V and 5V power supplies across DOS, Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems. The fixed physical dimensions of 132mm by 43mm by 12mm determine whether the assembly fits the target chassis.

Questions about this item
Does the 18-pin connector carry both 3.3 V and 5 V power?

Attach the MacBook Air SSD to the 18-pin socket first, then plug the USB cable into the host, and finally connect the SATA data cable.
