The adapter will enable the M2 SSD to be mounted in place of the original SSD on a MAC using a 12+16-pin PCie SSD (Macbooks produced after 2013).
Macbooks from 2013, 2014, 2015 don't support NVMe SSDs, so you'll need to use an AHCI-type SSD with this adapter.
Example of supported SSDs: Samsung XP941 (MZHPU128HCGM MZHPU256HCGL MZHPU512HCGL), Samsung SM951 PCIE-AHCI (MZHPV128HDGM MZHPV256HDGL MZHPV512HDGL).
The 2016 and 2017 "AIR" and 2015, 2016, 2017 "PRO" Macs support NVMe SSDs.
Example of supported SSDs :PM951 PCIE-NVME (MZFLV128HCGR MZFLV256HCHP MZFLV512HCJH), 950 PRO (MZVKV256 MZVKV512), 960 EVO (MZ-V6E250BW MZ-V6E500BW,MZ-V6E1T0BW).
You'll need to prepare a "USB DISK DRIVER" to use this adapter. See, for example, this article on how to create a Flash Recovery: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/create-mac-flash-recovery-drive-for-emergencies-3499802/.
