Vszerda 12+16pin M.2 NVME Adapter for Mac 2013-2017

SKU CH-4CNA-GQV8W

Adapts a 12+16-pin Mac slot to an M.2 NVME drive for 2013-2017 notebooks running macOS 10.13 or later

  • Enables NVMe SSD upgrades on 2013-2017 Mac notebooks
  • 12+16pin connector fits original Mac storage slot directly
  • Requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later for NVMe support
  • Includes three screws and tools for secure installation
  • Supports only NVMe and AHCI M.2 SSDs, not SATA drives

MacBook Pro SSD Adapter

The Vszerda 12+16pin M.2 NVME Adapter lets owners of Mac notebooks from 2013 through 2017 install an M.2 NVME or AHCI solid-state drive in place of the original Apple blade connector. It is built for users who want to upgrade storage on a supported machine without replacing the entire computer.

NVME and AHCI Only

The adapter accepts M-key NVME and AHCI drives and provides no support for any SATA-based M.2 SSD. If you attempt to use a SATA M.2 module the system will not recognise it. Buyers who need to install a SATA M.2 drive should look for a different adapter.

Passive Design

The card has no active cooling and draws negligible power from the host slot. Under normal workloads it runs silently and stays within the thermal limits of the notebook’s original design. No additional power connectors or case modifications are required.

Questions about this item

Will the 12+16pin adapter work with the original drive bay in my 2013 MacBook Pro?

The adapter converts the 12+16pin connector to an M.2 NVME/AHCI slot, so it fits the existing bay in 2013-2017 Mac notebooks.

How do I verify the NVME drive is recognised after installing the adapter?

Boot into macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later and open Disk Utility or System Information; the NVME SSD should appear as a bootable volume.

Does the package include the M.2 NVME SSD or only the adapter and screws?

The box contains one M.2 NVME conversion adapter, three screw tools and three screws; the NVME SSD itself must be purchased separately.
