Slim SATA Adapter for Optical Drives

This CableCreation adapter converts a slim SATA 13 pin optical drive to a standard SATA 22 pin motherboard connection. It is designed for users integrating slimline 2.5 inch optical drives into desktop systems or external enclosures. The female slim SATA side accepts the drive while the male 22 pin end plugs into the board.

Simple Pin Alignment Required

Installation involves aligning the 13 pin drive connector with the adapter's female end and seating the 22 pin male end into the motherboard or cable. The keyed design prevents reversed insertion. The main issue occurs if the drive uses a non-standard pin layout or if the adapter is forced without checking orientation.

Standard SATA Interface Limits

The adapter passes both 15 pin power and 7 pin data lines through the 22 pin interface. It relies on the host system to supply adequate power for the optical drive. Cable length and signal quality depend on the connecting cable used. The 24 month warranty covers the adapter itself, not the attached drive or cable.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the adapter is working after connecting a slim optical drive?

The system should recognise the optical drive in BIOS or the operating system and allow normal disc reading or writing, confirming both the 7-pin data and 15-pin power paths are active.

What comes in the package and what extra cable is required?

The box contains one 22-pin male to 13-pin female adapter; you must supply a standard SATA 22-pin female cable to link the adapter to the motherboard or power supply.

Which version should I choose for a 2.5-inch slim SATA optical drive?

This single adapter converts a 13-pin slim SATA optical drive to a standard 22-pin SATA interface, so it is the correct choice for that drive type.
