MicroSD to Mini PCIe adapter for laptops

The Hetai Tech MR14 is an 8-in-1 adapter that converts a Mini PCI Express slot into two MicroSD card sockets. It targets laptop owners who want extra removable storage or a ReadyBoost cache without occupying a USB port. The board integrates a flash-card controller, a hardware DMA engine and on-board voltage regulation for 5 V, 3.3 V and 1.8 V operation.

Half-mini card installs in any Mini PCIe slot

The card follows the USB 2.0 based PCI Express Half-Mini Card form factor measuring 3 by 2.7 cm without a bracket. Installation is a simple insertion into a compatible Mini PCIe socket; no drivers are required for Windows 7, Vista, XP, 8, 10 or Mac OS. A common issue is that some laptops whitelist only approved wireless cards, so the adapter may not be recognised if the BIOS blocks third-party Mini PCIe devices.

Check that your laptop has a free Mini PCIe slot

Before ordering, verify the machine exposes an unoccupied Mini PCI Express connector and that the BIOS does not restrict it to specific vendor IDs. The adapter complies with the USB 2.0 High Speed specification and the SD 3.0 (SDXC) standard, so any MicroSD card up to that version will work. Ensure the operating system in use is listed among the supported Windows or Mac OS releases.
