Targeted 2012 Mac SSD enclosure

This USB-C enclosure accepts 17+7-pin SSDs removed from 2012 MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro models. It uses a JMS580 bridge to expose the drive over a 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link and draws up to 3 A from the host. The package includes the enclosure, a USB-C to USB-A 3.0 cable and a screwdriver for installation.

Owners of listed 2012 Air or Pro models

The adapter fits Air SSDs measuring 24 x 108.9 mm (models A1466, A1465, MD231, MD232, MD223, MD224) and Pro SSDs measuring 32.5 x 89 mm (models A1398, A1425, MC975, MC976, MD976). It will not work with SSDs that use a different pin count, form factor or later Apple connector revisions. Drives requiring more than 3 A are also unsupported.

17+7-pin connector requirement

Only SSDs presenting exactly 17+7 gold contacts match the internal socket; any other contact layout will not seat or function. Verify the donor drive against the listed part numbers such as THNSNS064GMFP, THNSNS128GMFP, MZ-EPC5120/0A2, MZ-DPC5120/0A2, SD5SL2-512G-1205E, MZ-DPC128T/0A2 or MZ-DPC2560/0A2 before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I connect this enclosure to my computer?

The 5 Gbps rating is the maximum theoretical bandwidth of the USB 3.0 link; real-world transfer speeds will be lower and depend on the SSD you install and the host port you use.

Which USB standard does the Type-C port follow and what does that limit?

The Type-C port complies with USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0, capping the connection at 5 Gbps and 5 V / 3 A power delivery.

What physical dimensions must my 2012 Mac SSD have to fit inside this case?

The enclosure accepts 2012 MacBook Air SSDs measuring 24 x 108.9 mm or 2012 MacBook Pro SSDs measuring 32.5 x 89 mm, both with 17+7-pin connectors.
