Chosen Solution
Hi Guys, I’m looking for a way to take out the SSD out of the unit and be able to read it externally on a Mac. Reason I am an engineer and have clients with dead units and I am guessing the the data on the SSD would be fine (no way of knowing at this stage) and would like to be able to take out the SSD and see if I can get to the data for my clients, is there a reader of some sort for this? Thanks in advance for your help!
I bought the external case with the new ssd, and it came with a little adapter for SATA, I was talking about so now I plan to put the old macbook air’s ssd in my iMac as a second drive with this adapter
Found one… that should do the trick for any tech… http://bit.ly/JBSpli
While an SSD-to-USB case does not yet appear to be available, you can create an USB boot drive (or a thumb boot drive) and install the SSD from a damaged MBA in your known good MBA. You should be able to recover any readable files from the SSD. But, you’re an engineer and have already thought of this.
OWC sells a USB enclosure for $35 US, but according to their website it is only available when you purchase an upgrade SSD from them. More information can be found here.
Other world computing has two external cases. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDAP… to be release soon http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/drive/enc…
