Use this guide to upgrade or replace the solid-state drive in a MacBook Air 13” Late 2010. This MacBook Air uses a proprietary storage drive connector, and is therefore not compatible with common M.2 drives without the use of an adapter.

Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. Then, either familiarize yourself with internet recovery or create a bootable external drive so you’ll be ready to install macOS onto your new drive and migrate your data to the new SSD.

Finally, we strongly recommend installing macOS 10.13 High Sierra (or a later macOS) before replacing the original SSD from your MacBook Air. Most new SSDs require updated storage drivers not found in versions of macOS prior to High Sierra.

What's the best external enclosure for a potential dead MacBook Air in order to grab info off of?

Hey there, same question as above, are there any adapters (to USB, for example) out there to get back data from the hard drive with that proprietary pin connector in case the Mac is not operational anymore?

For all I know you may have found something by now but for anyone else who asks this question you can get an adapter to adapt it to a normal m.2 or nvme connection and then all you need to do is get a standard adapter which may be a little more useful for use with pc’s as well
