M.2 B-key SATA to eSATA adapter

This new adapter from Shenzhen Aimilai Technology Co.Ltd. converts a standard M.2 B-key SATA SSD into a SATA3 connection. It fits M.2 modules in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 dimensions. The card draws 3.3 V power directly from the PCIe slot and includes a SATA cable, two mounting screws and a screwdriver.

Builders adding SATA M.2 storage to a desktop

The board suits anyone who wants to reuse a B-key SATA M.2 drive in a system with a free PCIe slot and SATA port. It will not accept M-key PCIe-based SSDs, so buyers with that module type need a different solution. No driver installation is mentioned in the supplied data.

B-key SATA protocol limitation

The single deciding specification is that the adapter only supports M.2 B-key drives using the SATA bus. An M-key PCIe SSD will not function with this card. Confirm your drive keying and protocol before purchase.
