OMG IT WORKS!!! - This is EXACTLY what I needed and it works perfectly and was super easy to set up. My old laptop, a 15 inch retina MacBook Pro that I bought in July 2012 finally died last week. I was watching a YouTube video and the screen just went black and it wouldn't turn back on. I tried everything within my power (well, with google and YouTube at my disposal of course) like booting in Safe Mode, in Recovery Mode, in Transfer File mode or whatever it's called, and nothing worked. I'm way out of the Apple Care warranty, and a local Mac repair shop wanted $70 just to look at it, then anything else they did would be extra. As far as I can tell it's not a software issue but a hardware one, and even a used logic board is like $260 and I'd have to do the install myself. I'm long overdue for an upgrade, but I kept using this computer because it just kept going, but it's not worth putting a bunch of money into it at this point. There were a few gigs of stuff I wanted from the hard drive though (most stuff is backed up to an external drive and the cloud but not everything), so I wondered if there was a way to turn a laptop hard drive into an external drive that I could extract data from, like a USB stick or something. And it turns out you can! And this adapter is exactly what I needed. (By the way the website/YouTube channel Apple Dollars was super helpful to me in this process, check it out!). I already had one of the special screwdrivers to get the hard drive out, which was actually really easy. And once this was delivered it took like 2 minutes to plug the drive into this adapter, then plug the adapter into my Mac mini desktop, and I got all the data I needed! This adapter has 2 usb plugs, I gather you have to plug both in for the extra power to actually get your old hard drive to wake up or whatever. Anyway, I'm not a computer expert but I'm not afraid to open up the laptop and try stuff, and this worked perfectly. And for like $19 it's totally worth it. There are a ton of adapters like this one depending on the type and year of your laptop, so if this isn't exactly the one you need keep searching! Totally worth it and now I have a 256GB external drive to play around with. The actual adapter was mislabeled, it says 8 + 18 pin on it (you can see that in the pic) and before I plugged in my hard drive it said "For MacBook Air only" on it. But I have a MacBook Pro, not air. But it must have been incorrectly labeled or something because it totally worked for my MBP, which is a proprietary 7+17 pin type (or 24 pin). Anyway, I almost went to desertcart immediately to request a return, but then I put the hard drive on top of the adapter and it looked like it would fit, and I tried and voila! It worked! So just be careful. The outside packaging is labeled right, just not the actual adapter, but I don't care. This saved me a ton of money and I got all my data so I'm 100% happy. And I don't get anything for writing this review by the way. I bought this for full price because I needed it and I'm thrilled that such a product exists and worked so easily. I'm just trying to be helpful and use my decent reviewer number to try and provide reliable, honest reviews. Again, check out apple dollars (dot com), click on Troubleshooting and then Data Recovery. No, I don't work for them lol. That site/YouTube video was just totally instrumental in my process so I thought I'd pass it along. Review: Worked Great - Bought this to get the data off a 256GB SSD from a mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 15 A1398 MC975LL/A that had a bad logic board. It shipped fast, was a good price and did exactly what I needed it to do. It would have been a nice little bonus if the SATA to USB cable that came with it worked on other drives, but none of the ones I tested worked. In any case, I'm happy with my purchase. ## Features - Alow 2010-2011 macbook air SSD to work as 3.5" SATA SSD or USB external storage in desktop or laptop - Support SSD from Apple MACBOOK AIR A1369 A1370 1375 A1377 mc505 mc506 - Not FIT 2.5 inch SATA HDD because the length of the adapter plate is bigger - Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V Power - Dimensions: 5.19 in x 1.69 in x 0.47 in (132mm x 43mm x 12mm) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00KZIA1VK | | Best Sellers Rank | #323 in SATA Cables | | Brand | Sintech | | Color | For SSD From 2010-2011 Year | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (211) | | Date First Available | June 18, 2014 | | Hardware Platform | Sata | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 5.19 x 1.69 x 0.47 inches | | Item Weight | 2.39 ounces | | Item model number | PAUB23+25A | | Manufacturer | Sintech Electronic | | Product Dimensions | 5.19 x 1.69 x 0.47 inches | ## Product Details - **Color:** For SSD From 2010-2011 Year - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, PC, Server - **Connector Type:** USB - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 5.19 x 1.69 x 0.47 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** personal ## Images ![Sintech 18pin to SATA Adapter with USB3.0/Type C SATA Cable for SSD from 2010-2011 MacBook AIR A1369 A1370 A1377 (Not Fit Any SSD from MacBook Air 2012-2017 Year) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZCsqYEoAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IT WORKS!!!
