Green PCB adapter card with two M.2 slots and SFF-8654 plus SATA connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 2-in-1 M.2 NVMe to SFF-8654 & NGFF to SATA Adapter

SKU CH-5SH5-ZEBBN

Dual adapter converts M.2 NVMe to SFF-8654 SAS and M.2 SATA to SATA III, supporting 2230/2242/2260/2280 drives with no cross-protocol conversion

  • Converts M.2 NVMe to SFF-8654 Slimline SAS for server backplanes
  • Converts M.2 SATA NGFF to standard 22-pin SATA III port
  • Supports M.2 lengths 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 for wide compatibility
  • Shielded PCB layout minimises signal loss during continuous high-load operation
  • Driver-free plug-and-play enables instant recognition without software installation

Dual-Channel M.2 Adapter

This SMUGDESK adapter card provides two independent conversion paths for M.2 solid-state drives. One channel connects an M-Key NVMe SSD to an SFF-8654 Slimline SAS interface. The second channel connects a B or B+M Key SATA NGFF drive to a standard 22-pin SATA III port. Both channels operate on separate circuits without cross-protocol translation.

Server and Desktop Expansion

The board suits administrators adding NVMe drives to server backplanes or RAID controllers via Slimline SAS. It also suits builders connecting SATA M.2 drives to motherboard SATA ports. It does not serve buyers who want to run an NVMe drive through a SATA connection. It does not serve buyers who want to connect a SATA M.2 drive to an SFF-8654 port.

Compatibility Checklist

Verify your M.2 drive uses the correct key: M-Key for the NVMe-to-SAS channel, B or B+M Key for the SATA-to-SATA channel. Confirm the drive length matches 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280. Ensure your target system provides an SFF-8654 receptacle for the first channel and a free SATA III header for the second.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a SFF-8654 Slimline SAS connector to use the NVMe slot on this adapter?

Yes, the NVMe channel requires a SFF-8654 Slimline SAS port on a RAID controller, server backplane or U.2 enclosure for the PCIe signal path.

Can I run a SATA M.2 drive on the SFF-8654 side while keeping my NVMe drive on the SATA side?

No, the circuits are isolated; the SFF-8654 port only accepts M-Key NVMe SSDs and the SATA port only accepts B/B+M Key SATA SSDs.

After installing a 2280 NVMe SSD, how do I confirm the SFF-8654 link is active?

The drive will appear in the RAID controller BIOS or OS disk manager at full PCIe speed once the Slimline SAS cable is seated.
