Portable, Bus-powered Usb 3.0 Enclosure For Apple Flash Ssds (june 2013-current Mac Models)12/25/2018 Sorry no there is no external case yet to house the new PCIe versions of SSD's Apple is using in the new '13 models. With that said you could swap out your SSD with the spare (as long as you have the same exact model). Then, using a USB drive copy off all of the stuff to the USB drive then swap back your SSD unit and copy back over the stuff you need. While this is a fair amount of work it shouldn't take to long to do. The OWC Envoy Pro combines elegance and functionality in sleek, portable external storage for Apple Flash SSDs (June 2013-Current Mac Models). Its aluminium body protects your drive and data, while its minimal size allows for simple stowing in jacket pockets, backpacks or briefcases. If you plan to get rid of the SSD I would put your MacBook air into target mode and via a second Mac wipe down the SSD before swapping yours back in. I had the exact same problem. My Mid-2013 MBA suffered severe water damage and the logic board is fried. I plan on having Apple send it off to have the innards replaced (which they quoted $280 if they detect no damage, $750 if the detect water damage). I asked if I they can A) recover my data for me before tossing the old SSD, B) Return the old SSD with the refurbished computer, or C) let me take out the SSD before they ship it off. They refused all 3 options. They said if I don't turn in the complete computer, including the original SSD, I will not qualify for that repair rate that the quoted me. Apparently it's a subsidized rate to replace damaged parts, so if I turned it in with parts missings I would be charged a higher full retail price for the parts and repair. I found a solution. Despite what everyone says, there IS an SSD enclosure on the market that works with the new SSD enclosures: It's called an Apple Macbook Air. I bought another brand new identical MBA from apple ($1500). I took the SSD out of my damaged computer and put it in the new MBA. It booted right up as if it was my old computer. I copied all the data to my network drive. I very carefully put the stock SSD back in the new computer and closed it up very very carefully, sure to not leave a single scratch or trace the computer had been opened. I put it back in the orginal packaging and returned it to the Apple Store the day after it arrived in the mail for 100% refund, no restocking fee or anything. I felt a tiny bit bad about abusing their generous return policy like this, but at the same time I feel like they really left me no choice. They offer no enclosures for their propriety SSDs and they wouldn't even send me back the SSD from the broken machine or do a quick copy of the data from the old SSD to the new one for me. Or they could even offer to test the SSD and if it work keep the same old SSD (data intact) in the new logic board, and maybe even save them some money on parts. • Build your own portable PCIe SSD drive 1 • Repurpose any Apple factory-installed PCIe SSD • Outstanding USB 3.0 speeds up to 500MB/s • Award-winning aluminum design Experience incredible portable performance in the palm of your hand.

Verified Buyer Reviewer: jgrill Location: Atlanta Age: 45-54 Experience Level: IT Professional Owned Product: less than a month Rating: 4/5 works flawlessly March 22, 2018 I had a 2013 macbook pro that unfortunately died an SMC death. I needed my data and this worked flawlessly. The construction is high quality. The only clue it wasn't made by apple is the thick, stiff, black cable it comes with. It has a special connector on the end that connects to the case, so I don't think you can't replace it with a better one. For that reason, and the high price, I give it four stars. This is the only game in town, though, so you're not going to find another option somewhere else. I guess we Apple people are used to paying a lot anyway. I am, however, glad this exists because professional data recovery is way, way, way more expensive. Thank you, OWC. I also now have an nifty external drive, so that's cool too. I should add that my old SSD drive was encrypted so I wasn't totally sure if this would work for me without actually booting from the drive. I was pleasantly surprised when I was prompted to enter my password when attempting to access the drive with finder. I got my data without a problem. I would recommend this item to a friend!

February 19, 2017 I had been searching for this over the last 4 months. Every time I thought I had found it, there was some detail that would surface that made it incompatible with my drive. Finally, I found your website which provided me with all the info I needed to be sure that I was ordering the right enclosure. It was shipped the same day and I received it 3 days earlier than the delivery date shown on my invoice.
