🔌 Sintech 24pin to SATA Adapter with USB SATA Cable, Designed for Compatible SSD from MacBook Air Pro 2012 Year (Not Compatible with SSD from 2013-2015 Year) Review

This product was stolen to store data on an M-Key SSD from my early 2013 13" MacBook Pro. Note that the drive requires two USB ports to operate, which is a problem if you only have one USB-C device. I have a Kingston dongle and a Revain Basic USB-C to USB -Adaptor used to make it work.

Didn't initially work with my Macbook Air (Early 2014 1.4GHz Intel Core i5). However, when I tried a friend's Macbook Pro (early 2013) the drive was recognized immediately and I was able to transfer the data to the new drive. So keep in mind that this is a hit and your mileage may vary.

Purchased to get data off a 256GB SSD with a mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 15 A1398 MC975LL/A that had a defective motherboard. It was delivered quickly, at a good price and did exactly what I needed. It would be a nice little bonus if the included SATA to USB cable worked on other drives, but none of the ones I tested worked. Anyway, I'm happy with my purchase.

The blue and red LEDs on the SATA connector are lit, but nothing else happens. I tried 15 different SSDs and nada. Update after a few days. They sent a new one, it works. It only took me a few days to get a new one. It gets the job done, but please note that it's only for hard drive testing or data recovery! This adapter offers maximum read and write speeds of 40MB/s. The drives can handle several hundred MB/s, so if it were USB 3.0 it would make sense as an external drive too. However, at…

Lifesaver. My 2011 Macbook's motherboard broke so the only way to get the data back was to use this device. I bought a new MacBook, hooked up the SSD to this SATA adapter, plugged it into the MacBook's new USB port, and was back in business. The Macbook actually saw the SSD and thought it was an old system. He asked if I would like to transfer my data to the new Macbook, I said yes, then sat down and watched the transfer.

This is EXACTLY what I needed, works great and is very 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 wouldn't turn back on. I've tried everything I can (well, with the help of Google and YouTube of course) like booting into safe mode, recovery mode, file transfer mode or whatever it's called and nothing worked. My Apple Care warranty was about to expire and the…
