What M.2 SSD and SSD Adapter do I need for my MacBook Air A1369?

Hi all,

I bought a 256gb SSD M.2 and an M.2 SSD adapter from eBay, however the 256gb M.2 SSD does not fit the adapter. It does fit when it’s the other way round, but it’s very tight and it’s also not the right side up (I think?)… It also bends slightly when fit into the Macbook and tightening the SSD screw down.

I’ve watched YouTube videos on how to do this and I took the chance and bought these myself. I know that I could just buy the actual SSD but it tends to be more expensive than just getting an M.2 and the compatible adapter. I’ll post the links to the adapter and M.2 SSD below.

SSD:

This is the YouTube videos I used for reference:

Can you please recommend the correct M.2 SSD and adapter I need for my Macbook Air?

Apologies in advance - I’m a beginner but super keen to get this right!

Thank you!
