Hey Macbook fans. A question from a non-Macbook guy.

So a friend of mine has recently turned to me (as the local "computer friend" in the group without realizing I'm a PC guy) to help him save some old data from an old Macbook Pro with a busted screen.

He's got an older Macbook that doesn't have an HDD in it anymore and wants me to just remove the HDD from the one with the broken screen and put in into the one without a HDD...BUT upon opening up the broken screen Macbook I discovered it doesn't have an HDD.

Turns out its a MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2012...and has a Samsung S4LJ204X01 3-core ARM SSD controller chip. So now I'm stuck.

Are there any external SSD chip readers I could tell him to order that would allow me to retrieve his data and move it to a new HDD for his working MacBook? Or is it unobtainable?
