512GB Apple PCIe SSD Blade for MacBook Pro Retina A1502 A1398 MacBook Air A1465 A1466 iMac A1418 A1419 2013 2014 2015

This 512GB Apple/Samsung blade-style SSD is designed for select Apple systems that use Apple’s proprietary 12+16-pin PCIe “blade” storage connector. It is not a standard M.2 SSD and will not fit or function in typical PC NVMe/SATA M.2 slots.

This drive family is commonly found in MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013–Mid 2015), MacBook Air (Mid 2013–Early 2015 / 2017 Air), and certain iMac (Late 2013–2015) configurations that shipped with Apple PCIe blade flash storage.

Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 512GB
• Form Factor: Apple proprietary blade SSD
• Connector / Keying: Apple 12+16-pin proprietary edge connector (2-section finger layout)
• Interface: PCIe (Apple blade PCIe flash)
• PCIe Link (typical for this family): PCIe 2.0 x2 (host-dependent)
• Protocol (typical for this family): AHCI (Apple PCIe/AHCI generation)
• Power: 3.3V (Apple blade SSD power rail)
• TRIM Support: Yes (when supported/enabled by macOS on compatible systems)
• Controller / Platform: Apple/Samsung “SSUAX” family (component-level details can vary by production run)
• Important Note: Performance is strongly dependent on the Mac model’s PCIe generation/lanes and macOS version.

☑️ Key Features

☑️ Correct Apple 12+16-pin blade connector for supported Mac systems
☑️ 512GB capacity for upgrades or replacements
☑️ Apple PCIe blade SSD architecture (host-dependent speed and lane width)
☑️ Designed for macOS systems that shipped with Apple proprietary blade flash storage
☑️ Not a standard M.2 drive (prevents incorrect installations in PC M.2 slots)

⚙️ Fit Notes

• This drive is NOT compatible with:

• Macs that use a different Apple blade connector generation (later NVMe layouts)
• Any Mac with soldered storage (many 2016+ models)
• Standard M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA slots
  
  
• If your existing Apple SSD edge connector does not match the 2-section 12+16 pin layout, it will not fit.
