  • Works with SATA M.2 B/B+M Key and mSATA SSDs for drive reuse
  • USB 3.0 interface plus SATA 6 Gbps bandwidth enables fast file transfers
  • Supports M.2 lengths 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 for broad compatibility
  • Plug-and-play operation on Windows, Mac OS and Linux without drivers
  • Compact PCB design with stable heat dissipation prevents dropouts during long use

2-in-1 M.2 NGFF and mSATA Adapter

This adapter converts SATA M.2 NGFF B/B+M Key SSDs and mSATA drives to a USB 3.0 connection. It suits users who want to access data from older solid-state drives on modern laptops or desktops. The board does not work with NVMe M.2 drives.

SATA III and USB 3.0 Interface

The adapter uses a SATA III 6Gbps link paired with a USB 3.0 external port for data transfer. It requires an available USB port on the host system and a compatible SATA-based M.2 or mSATA module. No driver installation is needed for operation.

Supported Drive Sizes and Limits

The board accepts M.2 modules in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths alongside standard mSATA SSDs. It cannot read NVMe protocol drives, so buyers with PCIe SSDs must use a different solution. The SATA bandwidth caps maximum throughput.

Questions about this item

What limits the maximum throughput when I keep copying large files for hours?

The SATA 3.0 6 Gbps link caps sustained transfer speed even though the USB 3.0 port is faster.

Does the board get hot or draw much power during all-day operation?

Low power consumption and stable heat dissipation prevent dropouts during long-time use.

Which SSD form factors and keys must I already have for this adapter to work?

It accepts mSATA modules and M.2 NGFF B-Key or B+M-Key drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 lengths.
