Should the Intel 660p SSD work with my Macbook Air?

DPidd1 — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 20:03:29 GMT

I purchased an Intel 660P 1TB SSD and the the Qnine adapter in order to install the SSD into my MacBook Air

When I install the unformatted SSD with the adapter, the Mac boots from the internet OK and allows me to select Disk Utility.

When I select this, the only drive I see is the temporary Disk 0 in RAM created for the boot.

So the Mac is not seeing the new SSD.

See pictures attached of the SSD and the Qnine adapter labels.

Macbook Air model A1466 mid 2013 model MacBookAir 6,2

MacOS version: macOS 10.14.5 (18F132)

I think this should work. Any ideas?

Thanks
