Black open-frame adapter card with four M.2 SATA slots in a 3.5-inch form factor

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 4-Port M.2 NGFF SATA to 3.5" SATA 3.0 JBOD Adapter Card

SKU CH-20KF-4708X

Converts up to five M.2 NGFF SATA SSDs into a single 3.5" SATA 3.0 JBOD volume with open-frame cooling

Model 4 ports

  • Add four M.2 SATA SSDs to a 3.5" bay using a single SATA port
  • Reach 6 Gbps throughput on each drive via SATA 3.0 interface
  • Open-frame layout improves airflow to keep SSDs cooler
  • Supports 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 length M.2 SATA modules
  • Works with Windows, macOS and Linux without extra drivers

Four-Port M.2 SATA Adapter

This SMUGDESK card converts a single 3.5-inch SATA bay into four slots for M.2 NGFF SATA SSDs. It targets builders who want solid-state speed in systems that only offer traditional SATA connectors. The adapter operates in JBOD mode, presenting each installed drive as one combined volume to the operating system.

Fits Standard 3.5-Inch Drive Bays

The board mounts directly into any 3.5-inch SATA drive bay and connects to a motherboard SATA 3.0 port. No extra power cables or PCIe lanes are required. An open-frame layout promotes airflow around the SSDs, helping to keep temperatures down without adding a fan. Only M.2 SATA modules in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 lengths are supported.

Combines Four Drives Into One JBOD Volume

All four SSDs must be populated simultaneously; the adapter then merges them into a single logical disk. Maximum throughput is limited by the SATA 3.0 link at 6 Gbps, so total bandwidth is shared across the array. NVMe or PCIe M.2 drives are not compatible and will not function in this card.

Questions about this item

Does the open-frame design keep four M.2 SATA drives cool enough for all-day operation?

The open frame maximises passive airflow around each drive, so sustained workloads stay within safe temperatures without a fan.

What is the combined power draw when four M.2 SATA SSDs run continuously?

Each SATA M.2 SSD typically draws well under 5 W, so four drives stay well within a standard 3.5" bay power budget.

Must the host provide four separate SATA ports or can a single port serve the JBOD array?

The adapter presents one combined JBOD volume, so only one SATA 3.0 port on the host is required.
