SKU CH-CV3Y-Z0VSQ

Converts an mSATA SSD to a 1.8" Micro SATA 16-pin interface with on-board voltage regulation

  • Converts M.2 NGFF SSD to 1.8" Micro SATA 16pin interface
  • On-board chip auto-regulates voltage for stable power delivery
  • Compact PCBA fits inside 1.8" drive bay space
  • Enables 2.5" SATA connectivity after conversion
  • Requires hands-on installation with BIOS modification awareness

Mini PCIe to 1.8" Micro SATA adapter

This adapter board converts a mini PCIe M.2 NGFF SSD into a 1.8-inch micro SATA form factor using a 16-pin connector. It includes on-board voltage regulation and is intended for users with hands-on hardware experience who are upgrading or repurposing compact storage in tight notebook spaces.

Interface and installation limits

The card uses a two-lane PCI Express interface and outputs a 7+9 pin micro SATA connection. Installation requires the system to be fully powered off, and the converter cannot be screwed down like a native drive. BIOS modification may be necessary for the notebook to recognise the adapted drive.

16-pin micro SATA connector

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 16-pin micro SATA connector, which matches 1.8-inch drive bays. If the target device expects a different pin count or a standard 2.5-inch SATA layout, this adapter will not fit.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16-pin version or a different pin count for my 1.8" micro SATA drive?

The adapter uses a fixed 16-pin connector that matches the 7+9 pin micro SATA interface on 1.8" drives, so there is no alternative pin count to select.

What does the 2-lane PCI Express connection mean for my SSD speed once installed?

The board connects an mSATA SSD through a 2-lane PCI Express link, so the drive will operate at its native SATA speed limited by the mSATA interface rather than the PCIe bus.

Which SATA standard does the 7+9 16-pin connector follow, and what throughput does it cap at?

The micro SATA 7+9 16-pin connector carries standard SATA signals, capping throughput at the SATA revision supported by your mSATA SSD and host controller.
