I've picked up an old MacBook air 2013 from trash without battery and ssd. I want to see if I can bring it back to life. Apparently Apple does not use standard SSD. Do you know about any adapters in the market that would make it possible to use a standard SSD? I don't want to spend money on non standard SSDs that works only on macs. I don't even know if it work even at this point.

Look on ifixit.com and macsales.com . Or Google “MacBook air SSD upgrade”. Lots of options. Best kits include an external case for the old SSD drive so you can use it as an external drive (though it sounds like you won’t need this).

You will need to know the specific model of MacBook Air when ordering. Look on the bottom case to read the model number. If it’s bootable from an external drive, you can check “About This Mac” or System Information in the Apple menu for more info about your Mac’s model year.

Look on everymac.com with your serial number to get the specific upgrade options for your device. They’ll have links to upgrade hardware providers in most English speaking countries.
