Dual SATA III to M.2 A+E Key adapter

This SMUGDESK adapter converts two standard SATA III 6Gbps ports into a pair of M.2 A+E Key slots. It is built around the JMicron JMB582 controller and accepts 2230 size NGFF wireless modules. The card targets desktop owners who want to add WiFi 6 and Bluetooth without using a PCIe slot. Installation is plug-and-play with no extra drivers required.

Suits builders adding wireless to a desktop

The adapter only fits 22 by 30 millimetre modules, so it cannot take longer M.2 cards. It also needs two free SATA data connectors and a SATA power lead, making it unsuitable for systems that lack those headers. Users who want to install M.2 storage drives or need a different keying should look elsewhere.

JMB582 controller with dual 2230 A+E Key slots

The JMicron JMB582 chip provides stable SATA III 6Gbps bandwidth to each socket. Both slots share the A+E keying and are limited to the 2230 form factor used by compact WiFi and Bluetooth combo cards. This specific combination of controller, keying and module size determines whether the adapter matches your motherboard and wireless module.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything else?

The adapter card is supplied. You must provide two SATA data cables, a SATA power connection from your PSU, and the 2230 M.2 A+E Key WiFi 6 or Bluetooth module you wish to install.

How do I choose the right module for this card?

Only 2230 size (22 mm × 30 mm) M.2 modules with A Key, E Key or A+E Key pin-outs are supported; longer 2242, 2260 or 2280 cards will not fit.

What does the 6 Gbps SATA III rating mean once the card is installed?

Each of the two M.2 slots shares the JMB582 controller’s SATA 3.0 6 Gbps link, so the wireless module’s throughput is limited to that SATA bandwidth.
