mSATA to 2.5in SATA adapter

This adapter converts an mSATA solid-state drive into a 7 mm high 2.5in SATA 6Gbps open bracket drive. It fits a single mSATA module using a 52 pin receptacle and presents a standard SATA data and power connector to the host. The open frame design allows maximum heat dissipation during operation.

Replaces direct mSATA slot dependency

The adapter upgrades a system that only accepts 2.5in SATA drives so it can use an existing mSATA SSD instead. The jump is worth it when a laptop or desktop has a vacant 2.5in bay but no mSATA connector on the motherboard. It also lets builders repurpose an mSATA drive from an older ultrabook without buying a new 2.5in SSD.

Fits any 2.5in SATA drive bay

Installation is fixed and the bracket matches the 7 mm height used in slim laptops and standard drive caddies. The converter needs only the SATA data and power cables already present in the target machine. It frees up the mSATA slot on the original board for other expansion cards or leaves it empty if the board is being retired.

Questions about this item

What height does the adapter add to my mSATA drive for a 2.5in bay?

The open bracket holds the mSATA SSD at a 7mm profile so it fits standard 2.5in SATA drive slots.

Which connectors do I line up when seating the mSATA card?

Insert the 52 pin mSATA edge connector into the receptacle on the red PCB, then plug the combined 7+15 pin SATA data and power connector into the host.

Does the open frame need any thermal pad or paste over time?

No, the frame relies on passive airflow; just keep dust off the exposed PCB and drive controller.
