Compatible Mac models
This adapter card fits late 2013 through 2015 MacBook Air A1465 A1466 and MacBook Pro Retina A1398 A1502 plus late 2013 iMac A1419 and Mac Pro ME253 MD878. It converts the proprietary 12+16 pin slot to accept a 2280 M.2 NGFF PCIe x4 AHCI SSD. NVMe drives are not supported.
Build and daily use
The board carries an M key edge connector that mates directly with the Mac internal slot so no cables or external power are required. A 22 mm by 80 mm drive sits flat once secured and the conversion does not alter the original link speed or protocol.
Five-card bundle value
Each pack contains five identical adapter cards allowing multiple upgrades or spares for a workshop. No drivers or extra power adapters are needed so installation is a straight mechanical swap on every supported machine.

Questions about this item
What interface does the 12+16Pin adapter convert to, and what protocol does it support?
The adapter converts an M‑key M.2 slot to the 12+16Pin connector used in late 2013‑2015 MacBook Air A1465 A1466, MacBook Pro A1398 A1502 and Mac Pro ME253 MD878, and it only works with NGFF PCIe x4 AHCI SSDs — NVME drives are not supported.
What physical dimensions must the M.2 drive have to fit this adapter?
The card accepts only 2280 size drives (22 mm wide by 80 mm long); shorter or longer modules will not mount.
How is the adapter installed, and what step do people often miss?
Insert the M.2 SSD into the M‑key slot at an angle, press it down and secure it with the screw, then plug the 12+16Pin edge connector into the Mac’s proprietary socket — forgetting to fasten the retention screw is the common mistake that leaves the drive loose.
