What do I need to remove data from hard drive in dead MBA 2013 13"
I have a MacBook Air 2013 model A1466 EMC 2632. The computer is dead after water spill. I want to retrieve data from hard drive and have removed hard drive. But the first kit I bought doesn't fit together properly.
I bought this and the opening is a bit too small for my hard drive.
KNACRO Adapter Card to M.2 NGFF x4 for 2013 2014 2015 apple MacBook Air A1465 A1466 / PRO RETINA A1398 A1502 A1425 SSD
Sold by: KNACRO
This item I was told to purchase seems useless but it is definitely the same size as the actual hard drive.
Will the ifit it adaptor word for this?
Is dit een goede vraag?

This adapter allows you to fit an Apple Blade SSD in a PCIe slot of a Windows system. It won't help you get access to the files as you need a Mac to do that.

JFYI l have done it on windows booting a USB stick with Linux....and it will read any Mac drive..

You still have a problem here even if the OS is Linux and can read the SSD.
You can't access the files which only a Mac app created (stored). Yes, some files are readable like MS Word with MS Windows or OpenOffice.Org in Linux but, you couldn't savage much more. This is were a Mac system is a better direction and in most cases easier for someone to get to and likely want to stick with.

Thankyou for this advice Dan...I have retrieved music and photos from a failed Mac using this method...Apple is basically unix and so is Linux....but maybe later iOS developers are trying to close this loophole.
