M.2 adapter for mid-2012 rMBP?

-

i researching possibility of making m.2 adapter 2012 rmbps, , while doing came across this: mini pci-e 2 lane m.2 ngff 30mm 42mm ssd apple 2012 macbook retina ssd. looks beat me :d

don't fooled pci-e in name , description, appears passive (only connector , pcb) adapter can hold m.2 ssd size 2260 (length 60mm). availability of sata m.2 2260 ssds starting good, prices not bad, , sizes bound go flash densities grow.

thing i'm wondering, if there's enough space in rmbp? adapter should fit in imac without issues, there enough clearance between rmbp bottom plate , ssd area? guess i'll have take out bottom plate again, , make measurements :)

edit: well, ordered one, we'll find out in couple if weeks if fits.
 

i suspect work. can see size of 2012 rmbp ssd transcend site here:

looks total length of 110mm, we'd need little smaller able fit on card. seems adapter can't take 2280 size such intel 530 here:
