What type of interface does this SSD have?

I took out the SSD from a dead Macbook Air A1466 (early 2015) and I want to connect it to my other laptop through USB using an adapter.

However, I don't have the slightest clue what kind of connection this SSD is built for. Here are the specs: https://beetstech.com/product/solid-state-drive-a1466-2015It says PCI-E so I assumed Mini PCI-E but then again it also says "Connector: Proprietary Apple (12+16 Pin)" which is confusing..

Is it M.2?
Is it Mini PCI-E?
Is it some custom Apple connector interface?

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you (except to suspect that it may be Apple proprietary), but there are two places you can check: One is OWC (macsales.com) - tell them you want to install it in an external enclosure and ifixit.com where they may have an answer for you.

And the answer:

Apple Proprietary 12+16 pin connector.

Requires a very specific and fairly expensive adapter: OWC Envoy Pro - SSD Enclosure for 2013-Current Macs
