Repurpose Apple MacBook SSDs

The SMUGDESK AP01 adapter converts proprietary 12+16pin NVMe SSDs from 20132017 MacBook Air and Pro models to a standard desktop MKey interface. It provides a cost-effective way to reuse original Apple storage modules in regular PCs or workstations.

Verify SSD compatibility and slot availability

Confirm your existing drive uses the exact 12+16pin connector found on 20132017 MacBook Air and Pro SSDs before ordering. Ensure your desktop motherboard has an available MKey PCIe slot that supports the required interface for the adapter to function correctly.

Upgrade from proprietary to universal MKey

This adapter replaces the closed Apple connector with an open MKey PCIe 5.0 interface delivering up to 20Gbps bandwidth. The jump is worth it when you want to migrate a compatible MacBook SSD to a desktop platform without buying a new drive.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The package contains the AP01 adapter card; you must supply a compatible 12+16pin Apple NVMe SSD from a 20132017 MacBook Air or Pro and a desktop MKey slot.

Which version or capacity of Apple SSD works with this adapter?

Any 12+16pin NVMe SSD removed from a 20132017 MacBook Air or Pro fits the adapter regardless of capacity.

What does the 20Gbps PCIe 5.0 rating mean when the card is installed in a desktop?

It provides up to 20Gbps bandwidth over a PCIe 5.0 MKey link so the reclaimed Apple SSD runs at its full NVMe speed.
