macbook air 2013 a1466 ssd drive to usb or sata adapter?

I have a two month old macbook air a1466 emc 2632. i spilt coffee on it and it shorted out. I would like to take the ssd drive out and put it in an adapter to recover my data.

Please let me know what type of ssd this computer has and if there is an adapter. Also what the port is. I have found some adapters that are 50mm and 70mm pcie and some that are msata and mini sata. the other end can be regular sata or usb.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

As far as I can tell, there is no SATA adapter so far only PCI-e to plug into an expansion slot on a desktop motherboard or a USB 3.0 case. below is a link to one I found that was just released for the late 2013-current MacBook models.

Thanks i ordered the part. Do you know what Pentalobe size the laptop screws on the bottom takes?

That I do not know. Typically if you have a laptop repair toolkit ($20) it will have 1 of the 3 typcial pentalope sizes.

yes,it can work.you can transfer the data in SSD to desktop first,you can insert PCI-e 4X,8X,16X slot, then transfer the data back to your macbook from desktop.
