I've seen SATA to m.2 but not Apple's connector. OWC and others make external USB. Also PCIe cards.

Practically impossible, the 2013 SSD is a PCIe SSD, even you get a m.2 to SATA adaptor. The PCIe SSD can't be read by the SATA controller.

m.2 to SATA adaptor is available indeed. However, that's a ADAPTOR, not CONVERTOR. This kind of adaptor is designed to install m.2 SATA SSD, not m.2 PCIe SSD. They are different.

Good point. Apparently the PCIe protocols AHCI and NVMe can be converted to support SATA but not the other way around.
