12+6Pin to SATA Adapter

This adapter converts the proprietary 12+6pin SSD from 2010 and 2011 MacBook Air A1369 and A1370 models into a standard 22pin SATA interface. It allows the original Apple SSD to connect to desktop motherboards, external enclosures or other SATA-based hardware. No drivers or extra software are required for Windows, macOS or Linux systems. The compact PCBA design matches the original form factor for straightforward installation.

Suits data recovery and SSD reuse

This adapter suits users who own a genuine 12+6pin SSD removed from a 2010 or 2011 MacBook Air A1369 or A1370 and need to read, back up or repurpose that drive. It is not for owners of later MacBook Air models or standard M.2 NGFF SSDs, as the pin definition is incompatible. Buyers without the correct original Apple SSD cannot use this adapter. Verify your SSD pin layout before purchasing.

Pin-compatibility decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this adapter works is the exact 12+6pin connector found on the OEM SSD from the A1369 and A1370 20102011 MacBook Air. Only that proprietary pin definition matches the adapter socket and enables SATA signal transmission. Any other SSD type, including later Apple SSDs or common M.2 drives, will not connect or function. The SSD itself is not included.
