Hi,

My MacAir got dead (motherboard issue may be). I got the hard disk extracted out from service center, but not being able to find connecter anywhere. Any suggestions?

If that is a 2.5" hard disk, get *www.amazon.in/ORICO-2577U3-BK-Enclosure-Capacity-Business/dp/B07222HQKP/ or *www.amazon.in/External-Portable-USB3-0-2139U3-CR-Transparent/dp/B01N07NBLA/ and then use it to recover data.

No SaiyanGoku.. it's SSD PCIe. I could find only one enclosure on Amazon.com which is quoted around 10k.
SSD looks like this
Transcend TS480GJDM850 480GB JetDrive 850 PCIe Gen3 x 4 Solid State Drive

Looking like that and being that are two different things. If it is a standard m.2 nvme ssd, get a m.2 to usb 3.0 enclosure. If not, I don't know if there are enclosures for apple's proprietary connector.

It doesn't seem like apple uses standard m2 connectors & in that case one has to find a spare apple laptop or an expensive apple specific usb connector.
