MacBook Air SSD adapter

The Vszerda U3-067+SA-071 connects a 12+6 pin MacBook Air SSD to a standard 22 pin SATA interface via USB 3.0. It is built for owners of 2010 and 2011 MacBook Air models A1369 and A1370 who need to recover data or repurpose the original drive. The copper conductor PCB converts the proprietary Apple pin-out to a common SATA connection.

Installation notes

Plug the adapter into the SSD’s 12+6 pin connector, then attach a SATA cable and a USB 3.0 cable to a host computer. The drive appears as an external SATA device without drivers. The adapter only works when the SSD has exactly 12+6 pin contacts; drives with a different pin count will not fit or function.

Compatibility key

The single deciding specification is the 12+6 pin contact layout on the MacBook Air SSD. This adapter supports only 2010-2011 MacBook Air models A1369 and A1370 with that exact pin configuration. Any other SSD, including later MacBook Air drives, will not work with this PCB.
