Apple Hard Drive / SSD Cable for 13-inch MacBook Pro (Early & Late 2011) | APL9229771
The APL9229771 is a genuine Apple hard drive flex cable designed for 13-inch MacBook Pro models from Early and Late 2011. This internal SATA cable connects your 2.5-inch hard drive or SSD to the logic board, ensuring stable data transfer and reliable system performance.
A failing hard drive cable is a common issue in 2011 MacBook Pro models and can cause drive detection problems, intermittent boot failures, slow performance, or a flashing folder with a question mark at startup. Replacing the faulty cable restores proper communication between the drive and the motherboard.
This is a direct replacement cable for the main drive bay and fully supports both traditional hard drives and SSD upgrades.
