2015 MacBook Air SSD adapter

I'm working on an Air of MacBook 2015 for a customer.  The user spilled liquid on the keyboard, and now it does not start.  They took for a genius, whose repair estimate was high enough that they decided to buy a new MBP instead.  I restored their data from a backup and they are in good shape now, but now I want to wipe SSD of the MBA to keep their personal data to end up in the wrong hands.  Two days later and I still can't find an adapter that will allow me to access the drive on another Mac (I don't have an another MBA from 2015 to use).  Any of you know where I can find an adapter to do so, in order to connect to it and wipe it off?  Here are the specs:

MacBook Air Core i5 - early 2015

Model #: A1466 (EMC 2925)

256 GB SSD (Samsung model #: MZ-JPV256R/0 has 2)

The SSD has a 16 + configuration 12 pins on one side and a configuration pins 11 + 14 on the other.

Link for reference: http://www.memory4less.com/samsung-ssd-mz-jpv256r-0a2

I know Macs is very much a moving target because they always change their configurations, but this model came out a few years, and I'm a little surprised that I can't find any SATA or USB adapter for it.  Any ideas how I can erase the disc without physically assault would be greatly appreciated.

OWC can have a speaker or you can find them on Amazon. Depends on what the SSD card is exactly in the computer. Some Apple computers do not use the standard pinout that Samsung and other manufacturers use to commercial cards, instead they use those who are owners. However, if the card has been damaged then it will be useless.

Standard PCIe SSD cards have only a pinout on the map, not two, as you can see in the link you provided.

  • Backups Time Machine very slow on 2015 MacBook Air

    Associated with a topic of discussion between a few days ago (two MacBooks, 10.11.4, a fast Time Machine backup and a very slow), I start a new topic with new information that seem to show it is a problem more general and not related to Time Machine networks.

    Here's the situation:

    • A 2015 MacBook Air, 10.11.4, 8 GB / 512 GB, has extremely slow performance of backup Time Machine, taking 40 hours for the first 300 GB backup and incremental backups for a long time as well
    • TM performance is essentially the same whether on the network (wired Ethernet) or a USB3 external disk
    • When you back up to disk USB3, I confirmed that the information system shows that the port is configured as USB3, not USB2 (nothing else is plugged into the USB port)
    • Tests of bandwidth I/O gross (using dd and iperf) show no problem; the network reached 110 MB/s bandwidth, written network managed at 50 Mbps, external USB3 HD written work at 40-50 MB/s (write hard drive speed limit)
    • 3 other Macs of various ages from 2009-2014 on the same network have no problem at all do backups Time Machine Network; a backup complete first on a 2011 MacBook Pro 500 GB takes 5 hours or more than 10 x faster than the MBA problem
    • Time machine network uses a Linux server running the latest Debian and Netatalk 3.1.8 and the connection is via a USB3/Gigabit adapter, no WiFi, and iperf tests with this arrangement shows 900 MB/s of throughput of the server.  In all cases, the Time Machine and external time Machine Network USB HD have the same symptoms.
    • The problem with MacBook Air is configured the same as the MacBook Pro 2011, which she replaced "daily driver", possible
    • This problem was shown by the MBA since his unboxing conversion, taking 20 hours for his first backup once Setup initially.  Incremental backups now take several hours, leading to interrupted incremental backups and, I believe, databases corrupted backup triggers new full backups that take today the 40 hours.

    Using Terminal Server and iostat, Console, etc, I see that there is significant activity e/s for the backup drive on the order of 20 to 40 MB/s for long periods on the MBA during the TM backup, but during that time the average declared backup size as shown in the window in the console and TM is growing by only 5 GB/hour.  This occur even if the backup will the external drive or a network drive. This seems to mean that the I/O bandwidth to and from the disk hard external, only 1/600 contributes to the progress of the backup.  I am sure that there is overload of certain checks and other tasks, but not to a 600-to-1 ratio.

    I tried to disable the limitation of the I/O of low priority as shown here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/212537/time-machine-ridiculously-slow-a close-el-capitan-upgrade, that helps a bit (maybe 20-30%), but not by a factor of 10 for others.

    I have gone through a number of the Time Machine of Pondini troubleshooting steps, but he found nothing corresponding to these symptoms.

    The only thing I can conclude is that Time Machine, the application or configuration, on this specific MBA, is down. (A single thought that I wrote this to the top that I have not tried: the MBA and the time MBP running VMware Fusion and have a file of 50 + GB VM; on the MBA that is not excluded from TM backups while on the MBP is)

    Does anyone have advice on what to watch next?  In all cases, only one key would be why it seems that only 0.16% of all the bandwidth I/O to the backup drive seems to be actual data backup.

    Once again, three other Macs, all running the same 10.11.4, back to the Time Machine Server perfectly and have for years.  Only this new MBA glue as broken out, either to a network drive or an external hard drive USB3.

    (A single thought that I wrote this to the top that I have not tried: the MBA and the time MBP running VMware Fusion and have a file of 50 + GB VM; on the MBA that is not excluded from TM backups while on the MBP is)

    What happens when you exclude it as the MBP?

  • possible to use from 2010 to 2012 macbook air SSDS?

    Hello

    Accidentally, I bought the wrong hard drive for my macbook air from 2012.

    Thank you

    If it does not fit, there is no way to make it work.

  • 2015 Macbook Air - download speed between 3 Mbps and 100 kbps avg.

    I have a 2 month old Macbook Air El Capitan 10.11.6 running 2015. Since the day I opened the box and connected to the internet, I saw really slow to the Internet until I gave up on streaming audio and video. Connectivity is so bad that pictures on web pages stopped loading.

    I made every difficulty I could find online as well as reminded twice technical support to have them tell me to do things that I've done.

    The last call, I spoke with a supervisor who is convinced that it is my ISP internet despite all the other computers on my home connection and see downloads 10 x higher than my macbook. (40 MB/s to my 3 Mbps), and the fact that I see bad connectivity no matter what network I'm on. Two things, I told the tech support supervisor. I have appointment of Engineering tomorrow where I'll be very interested to hear their ideas and their solutions.

    I have owned 5 5 iPhones, iPads 3, 3 iPods, Macbooks and countless accessories Apple and devices over the past decade. I'm sad to say but my next devices will not be Apple.

    My most current iPhone, which is a year and a half old, is slowly dying as the touch screen loses the changes and external buttons stop working. The two-year mark, it'll be a brick. Just in time for an upgrade of $400!

    Honestly, I'm shocked at how Steve Jobs for this company. I never would have guessed that her crazy quality control and standards have actually been driving Apple light insofar as it goes to the pot, a few years after his death.

    If you have an appointment, they can check the issue.

  • MacBook Air SSD showing the incorrect capacity

    I was about to partition my hard drive to use boot camp and install windows, but then I noticed the ability of my 180 GB SSD but should be 250 GB. I have tried other partitions, files, tried to use the disk utility first aid (everything has been verified to be OK) and had still no chance to find why it is showing my 180 GB maximum capacity. I also tried the reindexing of spotlight, but I have absolutely no idea of what is happening.

    As you can see in this photo, the flash storage on the side said that my storage is 251 GB. Does anyone have an idea where the other 70 GB disappeared?

    Please rebuild the Spotlight index of the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) If you try to search now, there will be an indication that the indexing is in progress.

  • The MacBook MacBook Pro vs the 2015 2012 Air

    I'm currently looking in laptops refurbished Mac as a device to program in XCode on and use it as a laptop school.

    My options seem to be the 2012 MacBook Pro vs. MacBook Air 2015. While my main focus will be programming, I need my computer to be able to handle other tasks. My complaint with the laptops has always been the General slowness are associated, when they become easily outdated. In the MacBook Air, much higher transfer speeds of flash memory should help, but the big difference of GHz between the two processors will be a problem?

    In the 2012 MacBook Pro, it runs at 2.5 GHz with a Turbo Boost to 3.1 GHz.

    In 2015 MacBook Air, it runs at a meager 1 .6GHz, but the Turbo Boost can reach up to 2.7 GHz.

    Big Turbo Boost of the MacBook Air, it seems competitive, but it will never really reach this clock speed? I've never owned a Mac for myself, and while the Turbo Boost looks impressive on paper, I do not understand if Turbo Boost is effective when it is actually implemented or not.

    Unfortunately, I'm used to my 4.0 GHz custom PC, so it is difficult for me to understand the magnitude of these small clock speeds and Turbo Boost.

    All opinions welcome, thank you for your thoughts!

    Hi milehigh3r

    In this article MBP = MacBook Pro and MBA = MacBook Air the MBP specific I compare the MBA with is Late 2012 15"

    Two of these laptops have there for and against.  I'm assuming that you look the MBP 15 "and 13" MBA

    In the MBP i7 would also go more high as you say that its Turbo clock is 3.1 GHz which means that it is the fastest frequency, he's going to go.

    Pros of the MBP (MacBook Pro)

    Retina display (Macbook air is not equipped with a Retina display)

    Can use up to 16 GB of Ram

    There are also more ports on the MBP

    All CPUS MBP is i7 which means you would get the benefit of technology hyper threading which creates a 4 additional virtual cores.  What will make it a 8 Core CPU.

    the MBA would not have this functionality if you upgrade the $130 extra for the i7 (Note: this i7 in the MBA is only a Dual Core)

    The MBA Pros / Cons

    Latest generation ports (Thunderbolt 2 (Thunderbolt 1 is on the MBP))

    You cannot install any OS prior to OS X 10.11 El Capitan

    To conclude I totally recommend that you go for the MBP because you have found the two nuclei and i7 in standard, you can also get much better display.  Also all Apple products Refurbished come with new batteries (I would say that you go to a class A which means better conditions).  Try to get a SSD if possible as they will make it lot faster on the start menu to the top of the OS and applications.

    Need anything better explaining it, or have any questions feel free to answer me.

  • MacBook air water damage recovery of data flash storage of air from macbook to macbook pro retina

    Last week, I spilled water on my macbook air that extinguishes immediately after that.
    It's been a week that I let it dry without attempting to start.

    Unfortunetaly, I did have a backup for 2 weeks, (of course bad luck should come at the wrong time), and I really need to get my data from the flash ssd drive.

    I thought to transfer the player of Flash ssd of the macbook air to a macbook pro retina and retrieve the data since the macbook pro retina by making a backup. Would this work? This would not damage the macbook pro retina?

    I have a macbook air early 2014, the macbook pro retina is also the same year.

    Thank you very much for your answers.

    Best regards.

    You'd better using an external enclosure of the MacBook Air SSD rather than MacBook Pro.
