16+12 Pin MacBook SSD Enclosure

This Fervit enclosure connects a 16+12 pin solid-state drive from compatible MacBook Air, Pro, Mac Pro and iMac models dated 2013 through 2016 to a host computer via Micro USB 3.0. The package includes the enclosure, a Micro USB 3.0 cable, a power cable and a screwdriver. It supports plug-and-play and hot-swapping operation.

Users with Apple SSDs drawing 3.1 A or more

The adapter works only with drives that have the 16+12 pin contact layout and a current draw of 3 A or less. Drives exceeding that current limit will not function. Buyers with drives using a different pin count or connector shape should look at another solution.

3 A maximum current rating

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 3 A maximum current support. If the SSD requires more than 3 A the enclosure cannot power it, regardless of pin layout. Verify the drive's current rating before purchase.

Questions about this item

How fast will my 16+12 pin MacBook SSD run over the Micro USB 3.0 link?

The enclosure uses a Micro USB 3.0 interface, so the SSD will be limited to USB 3.0 speeds in practice.

What does the 3 A maximum current rating mean for my drive choice?

The enclosure supports up to 3 A; any SSD that draws more than 3.1 A will not work with this unit.

What physical space and fixings are needed to install the 16+12 pin SSD?

The package includes a screwdriver; the enclosure accepts the bare 16+12 pin SSD and connects via the supplied Micro USB 3.0 and power cables.
