Retrofitting an SSD from MacBook 2012 to 2008 desktop mac
Hi Guys.
I was recently given an old 2008 Mac Desktop (A1224) with an old storage drive (non ssd). It’s a statement to Mac software about how well it still works for what I need it for (browsing and basic tasks.
I also have an old non working Macbook 2012 (I believe an a1466) with a broken logic board - however the SSD on that laptop is still perfectly fine and contains a bunch of old photos and things that I’ve always wanted to retrieve.
I had the thought that if i could take the SSD from the mac air and somehow install it/replace the old drive in the desktop mac, I’d solve two problems at once for no real cost (other than an adapter perhaps).
Is this possible? Just FYI my daily user is a 2019 mac pro, so I dont want to upgrade or spend any money on newer tech - ilI get that it’s old, but i really love the old desktop and I’m not at all interested in replacing it while it’s still doing everything I need it to. Really just wanting to know if this SSD swap is feasible - and how I would be able to install a working version of apple OS that still works on the old desktop if it is at all possible.
Please include links to guides if they exist!
Thank you very much.

I've managed to remove the SSD from the old macbook air - Its a 256gb MZ-EPC2560/0a2. Which connector would i need to adapt this to the old (presumably sata) connectors of the Desktop mac?
Это хороший вопрос?
