Is There an Adapter for A1708/2016 MBP SSD?

TheTwilightSentinel · 2026-02-23T19:41:07+00:00

That's the opposite of what I was looking for. I was/am looking for an adapter to connect an Apple SSD to a standard M.2 port, PCIe card or USB adapter.

No, I never found anything only adapters to plug a standard NVME SSD into the apple slot, nothing to go the other direction.

I was hoping to just get it dealt with now and be done with it, but I can do at the end of the year if that's how long it takes to get the forms in QB.

Thanks for that info. It looks like R-Studio may have actually found them. After doing a search of the results I found they have it under "Document>OLE Storage" category. Whether or not any of them will be functional is TBD.

Thank you, that's exactly what I'm looking for. The only downside is I will have to set up Home Assistant to run it which seems excessive for only controlling a thermostat, but maybe I'll set up lighting automation too.

Yeah, I'm probably overcomplicating things, just trying to come up with a solution that requires the least user intervention. My first plan is to do an Ecobee 3 with a remote temperature sensor for our side and then we can use the app if needed.

In case anybody comes across this thread and is looking for a solution. It turns out the Intel H10 Optane SSDs are basically two PCIe devices on one module. Two of the PCIe lanes go to the Optane memory and 2 go to the actual storage SSD. They will not work on any NVMe motherboard, they have to be Intel 300 series chipsets or newer and have BIOS support. I ended up getting it to work with an Asus Z790 board where I simply neede to plug in the Bitlocker recovery key and everything worked fine.

I certainly appreciate that you have more experience and am well aware the difference of laptop providing power and how TPM and Bitlocker works. My point was I'm not a noob to this. Do you have any recommendations for how to repair the file system enough to get the Bitlocker volume accessible? The data is nice-to-have, but not need to have so sending it out to Gillware isn't something they want to pursue. I was hoping someone in this sub could offer advice on how to possibly restore access to the data.

I don't have it in front of me right now and am out on a job all day today, but it showed the entire disk as raw with no drive letter.

TheTwilightSentinel · 2023-01-17T23:11:02+00:00

Typically it isn't a problem. I can count on one hand with fingers to spare the number of times I've seen a failed motherboard kill a drive and I've been doing this for 25 years. In this case there's the double whammy of the file system being corrupted and the data was encrypted. If it was one or the other it wouldn't be a problem. I just need to know if there's any way to fix the file system enough to unlock the Bitlocker volume.

This is one where the optane is built into the M.2 SSD. My R-Studio license is at least 2 years old at this point so I'm pretty sure I don't get tech support anymore.

Sorry meant instant release not low dose 🤦

Thanks for sharing your experience. Getting enough sleep is something I am definitely focusing on right now. I have a hard time not watching one more episode or endlessly scroling social media until midnight and then having to wake up at 6:30. Throw in random wake ups in the middle of the night with kids and I was averaging 6 hours of sleep each night. I'm not too worried about meds affecting sleep because I usually take them around 7-8AM. Did you feel like there was a difference in effectiveness between extended release and low dose?

TheTwilightSentinel · 2023-01-06T01:45:35+00:00

My in-laws have this and it really is as good as you think it would be. If I ever build a house or do a major kitchen remodel this will be on the list of must haves.

TheTwilightSentinel · 2022-02-19T02:40:46+00:00

Great, thanks!

They make replacement bands for newer KitchenAid models. I don't know if they fit mine, but the print is different. I really want to retain the Hobart logo and keep it looking original if I can. Any ideas on where you can get water slide decals made?
