M.2 NVMe Adapter for 2013-2017 MacBooks

This adapter lets owners of compatible MacBook Air, Pro and Mac Pro models install an M.2 NVMe SSD using the original Apple connector. It supports M-key 2280 drives and requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later. The kit is intended for internal upgrades only and does not fit external enclosures. Buyers with pre-2013 Macs or iMacs cannot use this adapter.

Black PCB with Direct Apple Pinout

The board matches the proprietary connector used in MacBook Air 11-inch A1465, 13-inch A1466, MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch A1502, 15-inch A1398 and Mac Pro ME253 MD878. No cables or brackets are included; the drive mounts directly onto the logic board. Installers must update to High Sierra on the original drive before swapping hardware. Some NVMe brands may prevent wake from hibernation, requiring a full shutdown instead of lid sleep.

Single Adapter Card in Package

The box contains one adapter card and no software, screws or cloning tools. Users must provide a supported NVMe drive such as Samsung 960/970 series, WD Black, Intel 600p/660p/760p, Crucial P1 or listed Kingston and ADATA models. A separate macOS installer USB and Time Machine backup are required steps not supplied with the kit. Builders needing AHCI-only M.2 drives should verify compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter use the original Apple connector or a standard M.2 slot?

The board provides an M key M.2 2280 slot that accepts PCIe NVMe SSDs and plugs into the factory Apple connector on supported MacBook Air and Pro models.

Which MacBook models does the adapter physically fit?

It fits MacBook Air 11-inch A1465, Air 13-inch A1466 (Mid 2013-2017), Pro Retina 13-inch A1502 and 15-inch A1398 (Late 2013-Mid 2015), plus Mac Pro ME253 and MD878.

What is the correct installation sequence to avoid a non-booting drive?

Update to macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later on the original drive first, then back up, create a High Sierra installer, shut down, swap the SSD onto the adapter, and install the OS fresh.
