All the pics I can find of the Plextor show a connector that looks nothing like the Apple connector.
Same with the Samsung.
Samsung, Toshiba, and Sandisk all make the drives for the MacBooks but the connector is proprietary.
OWC had to reverse engineer theirs.

You don't throw away the connector then. Simple.

The connector is part of the SSD. It's not a separate piece.
The Plextor and Samsung parts you listed won't work, don't even try. Even simpler.
