Hello! I have a MacBook Pro (A1398 EMC 2673 (Early 2013)) with its original internal SSD. My MacBook has not been turning on for the past two days, and I want to see if the SSD still works; I thought that I would insert it into my wife’s MacBook Pro (A1398 EMC 2909 (Late 2015)), and from there, save my data onto an external hard drive.

  1. Can my wife’s Late-2015 MacBook Pro be booted up with my Early-2013 internal SSD?
  2. If not, is there an adapter that would work, so that I could remove my SSD, insert it into the adapter, and then boot up my wife’s MacBook from there?
  3. Where would I find this adapter to purchase? Your help is greatly appreciated!

I think they should be compatible considering they’re both A1392s. Shouldn’t hurt to give it a shot. If you don’t want to take the risks however, you can find an adapter that has a USB end then option boot on your wife’s computer from that. I unfortunately have no idea if they exist and/or where to find them.
