Review on πŸ”§ Sintech M.2 SATA SSD 24Pin Card: Perfect Fit for 2012 MacBook Air, for 2280 M.2 SSD by Eric Froedge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I was skeptical but it really worked!

To install a 500GB SATA MX500 m.2 drive in a mid 2012 MacBook Air. I was skeptical that this would actually work as there are third party replacement drives with the appropriate onboard connector are much more expensive, but I was able to install the operating system from a USB stick and activate TRIM without any problems. Please note: Make sure you pair this with SATA m.2 SSD, NVME m.2 SSD doesn't work. The difficulty is comparable to any other laptop upgrade, there is a youtube video for this exact upgrade.

Pros
  • Ease of Use
Cons
  • Legacy Model
