Product Identity

The GLOTRENDS PA09-SA is a PCIe expansion card that converts a single M.2 SATA solid-state drive into a standard SATA connection on the motherboard. It draws power from a PCIe x1 lane at 3.3 V and fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots. Both a regular bracket and a low-profile bracket are included along with a SATA III cable and mounting screw. The adapter works with Windows, Linux and Mac OS without extra drivers and allows booting from the installed drive.

Who It Fits

Builders who have an M.2 SATA module with Key B or B+M notching and want to connect it through a free SATA port will find this card a direct fit. It suits upgrades on older boards that lack an M.2 slot and deployments in 2U servers using the low-profile bracket. Not for users who need to connect M.2 PCIe Key M drives or who require more than one M.2 device on a single card.

Deciding Specification

The card accepts only M.2 SATA SSDs with Key B or B+M pinouts; M.2 PCIe Key M drives are not supported. The host motherboard must provide a SATA III port to reach 6 Gbps throughput. A PCIe x1 lane supplies 3.3 V power to the adapter.
