Works exactly as expected with no surprises.
This adapter allowed me to connect a modern M1 Max MacBook Pro (Sonoma 14.4.x) to an SSD removed from a 2012 MacBook Air that would not power on or charge.There were no surprises at all. I unscrewed the ends of the device with the included screw driver and installed the SSD in the sled connected with an Apple branded USB to USB-C adapter. It took a few attempts to reinstall the sled in the aluminum housing using the proper orientation but it wasn't overly difficult or limiting; just crudely designed (four screws on two aluminum plates with only a single correct installation orientation). There's no compelling reason to reinstall the SSD into the aluminum case for data recovery but mentioning it here for completeness in case you were inclined to use the SSD for more than a one-off recovery.After I connected the device to my MacBook Pro, I clicked allow on the confirmation prompt for a USB device, I was then greeted with a familiar password prompt as a I was using FileVault full disk encryption on the 2012 MacBook Air and macOS was attempting to auto mount the encrypted filesystem on the device. I could have copied files directly right off the drive but best practice for data recovery is to make a byte-for-byte copy of the data on the SSD to an image file (.dmg). I used GNU ddrescue installed via MacPorts/Homebrew and then mounted the image file and restored files directly from that.

It is not working
I just bought it and connected it to my laptop (Microsoft OS). The light comes on but the computer is not showing the drive.I've messaged the seller but no response.

Good quality and easy of use.
Highly recommend this product. Easily connected the 7+17 pin SSD from my non-working Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina (A1398) to this USB external case. After a nervous 15-20 seconds the SSD appeared on my new MacBook as an external drive! I was able to copy the data with no connection issues. So, very happy this worked since the compatibility chart only shows it working with the 2012 MacBook Air 7+17 pin SSD. As noted by others, the board with my SSD attached would not slide into the case because the SSD is a fraction wider than the case.

works with 2012 macbook air disk
I was able to recover data from a 2012 macbook air disk. My understanding is these disks use a connector size not used in any other Apple or other model laptop, so it's impressive that an adaptor is available. Thank you!
