It matches the original 89 by 32.5 millimetre footprint and connects through the existing SATA interface. No extra power or drivers are required.

Builders who want a simple SATA upgrade for the listed 2012 MacBook Pro or iMac models will find this a direct fit. Buyers needing a different physical connector or a protocol other than SATA should look elsewhere. The board accepts M.2 modules in 2230, 2242 and 2260 lengths only.

The single M key slot on the adapter supports three common M.2 lengths: 2230, 2242 and 2260. Drives in other lengths or with a different key will not mount or connect. Choose a drive from these three sizes to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Questions about this item

Does my MacBook Pro Retina 2012 need a specific model number like A1398 or A1425 for this adapter to fit?

The adapter fits MacBook Pro Retina 2012 models A1398, MC975 and MC976. It matches the original SSD dimensions of 89x32.5mm and uses the same connector.

Will an M.2 SATA drive in this adapter work at the same speed as the original Apple SSD in my 2012 MacBook Pro?

The adapter is plug-and-play with no drivers and needs no extra power. It passes the native SATA link of the 2012 MacBook Pro, so a SATA M.2 drive runs at the same bus speed as the original SSD.

After installing the adapter and an M.2 drive, how can I confirm the Mac recognises it correctly?

Open System Information and check the SATA section. The drive should appear with its model name, capacity and a link speed matching the MacBook Pro SATA interface.
