Hi, guys. I bought a 11" MBA 8GB RAM 128GB SSD last year, and recently got a hold of a 256GB SSD that I swapped in. That means I've got a spare freakingly awesome fast PCI-e SSD just gathering dust. I've looked and looked and looked but can't find any adapters that would allow me to use it with a different computer.
OWC makes a USB3 external box that works with the 2011/2012 MBA's SSD, and there are 3rd party PC manufacturers that make M.2/NGFF adapter cards that can connect to SATA or PCI-e 4x in a PC. But, Apple chose to go with a proprietary connector on their SSDs for 2013, so even though (from what I gather) they're electrically the same as the NGFF boards now coming out from Samsung, et al, you can't connect the Apple SSD to the adapter because the card edge is keyed and shaped differently.
Has anyone found an adapter to the adapter?
Please let me know!
(PS, I threw my SSD up on eBay, but after a week, no bites. I'll provide a link if requested.)
