mSATA 30×50mm to USB 3.0 Adapter

This adapter converts an mSATA SSD measuring 30mm by 50mm into a USB 3.0 external drive. It targets users who have removed such drives after a laptop upgrade and want to reuse them for extra portable storage on a desktop or notebook.

ASM1153E Chip and UASP Support

The ASM1153E controller provides broad platform compatibility and stable signalling for drives up to 512GB. USB 3.0 delivers read and write speeds around 200MB/s, while UASP mode on supported Windows 8 or Mac OS 8 and 9 systems can raise throughput to roughly 400MB/s depending on the SSD used.

1.5A Current Limit and Formatting Requirement

Only mSATA SSDs drawing less than 1.5A are supported; SATA Mini PCIe, PATA Mini PCIe and RAID Mini PCIe drives will not work. A new drive must be formatted before the computer will recognise it, and the package includes two mounting screws for securing the SSD to the 72mm by 35mm by 10mm board.
