I bought an A1466 Air in Spring of 2013. Unfortunately, without it functioning, I do not have the actual hardware revision -- simply just what was printed on bottom of the case. (FYI, the machine just flat out died, no charge light, no liquid damage, etc).
I am looking for an adapter for the SSD drive (preferably USB). I have been searching forums and on Amazon, and there is a lot of mixed information on what will actually work. Amazon reviews for most adapters mention that they do not work with the newer SSD drives.
Is anyone aware of something that will actually work? This thing died while I was out on extended vacation and I do not have a current time machine backup.
Alternatively as a last resort, my wife does have an Air from 2014 (we bought it just before the USB-C models hit the market). Any idea if the computer would freak out if the drive suddenly changed machines? I might be able to complete a time machine backup that way. However, i would like to avoid opening it if possible.
