Hello everyone, I work at a computer repair shop and since the new MacBook Airs have been out for a bit, we have come across instances where we are unable to get data from a machine simply because we don’t have the tool to do it. I am looking for an adapter that will take the PCIe SSD in a Mid/Late 2013 MacBook Air (or MacBook Pro Retina Mid/Late 2013) SSD to either SATA or USB. So far, any searches have come up empty. Any help would be appreciated.
I’ve faced the same problem! Sadly, there is no options right now. There are no external drive cases for the newer PCIe drives currently. What I do is use a second ‘13 Air popping the SSD into it and then putting it into Target Mode with a USB cable copy off what was needed.
I’ve found some 2013-2014 ssd to pcie adapters on ebay. Doesn’t really help unless you have a mac pro to pop the ssd into or have a pcie to thunderbolt enclosure (which run about $400 ata minimum). http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-2014-MacBoo…
