M.2 B+MKey SATA adapter for legacy upgrades

The SMUGDESK CX25 converts a B+MKey SATA NGFF SSD into a standard SATA3 6Gbps connection using the CX25 controller. It supports drive lengths of 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 for broad compatibility. Plugandplay operation works with Windows, Linux and mainstream operating systems. Steady data transfer reaches up to 300MB/s for daily storage tasks.

Suits owners of SATAbased M.2 drives needing

This card is built for B+MKey SATA protocol SSDs only; drives using the PCIe interface will not function with this adapter. Builders requiring PCIe bandwidth or a different M.2 keying should look at other solutions. The compact PCB fits laptops, miniPCs and embedded devices where space is limited.

CX25 controller with 300MB/s throughput limit

The onboard CX25 controller bridges the M.2 SATA signal to SATA3 6Gbps while capping sequential speed at 300MB/s. This specification defines the maximum transfer rate you can expect from any supported drive. Verify your SSD uses B+MKey SATA signalling before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the CX25 adapter let me keep using my existing SATA cables and motherboard ports with a new M.2 B+MKey SATA SSD?

Yes, the CX25 converts a B+MKey SATA M.2 drive to a standard SATA3 6Gbps interface so it connects directly to your current SATA cables and motherboard ports.

How can I confirm the CX25 is delivering the expected 300MB/s transfer speed after installation?

Run a sequential read/write benchmark in your OS — steady results near 300 MB/s show the adapter and drive are operating at the specified SATA3 6Gbps link speed.

Which M.2 drive lengths does the CX25 support out of the box, and do I need any extra brackets or screws?

The CX25 PCB fits 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 B+MKey SATA M.2 SSDs; the package includes the adapter card only, so you supply your own M.2 mounting screw and any chassis bracket.
