M.2 SATA adapter AC3858 with 3.5" bracket

The Vszerda AC3858 is an expansion card that converts a SATA-bus M.2 SSD into a standard 3.5-inch drive form factor. It accepts B-key or B+M-key modules in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths and connects them to a SATA 3.0 interface. The board measures 142 by 65 by 8 millimetres and includes a mounting bracket, a screwdriver and an M.2 screw.

Suits owners of SATA M.2 drives.

This adapter suits anyone who wants to install a SATA-based M.2 SSD into a 3.5-inch bay or caddy. It does not work with PCIe-bus M.2 SSDs that use an M key, so builders who have that type of module must choose a different solution. The card is driver-free and transparent to the operating system.

B-key or B+M-key SATA support decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SSD key type: only SATA-bus M.2 drives with a B key or B+M key are supported. If the module uses an M key alone, the card will not function.
