Adapter for 2230 to 2242 NVMe and SATA SSDs

This Vszerda adapter extends a 2230 M.2 socket to accept a 2242 NVMe or SATA drive. The B+M key male connector plugs into the host slot and the M-key female socket holds the longer module. It preserves the original protocol without conversion.

Builders fitting a 2242 SSD into a 2230 slot

The card suits laptops and compact devices that only provide a 2230 socket but need the capacity of a 2242 drive. It does not suit users who must convert between NVMe and SATA interfaces. Buyers needing a longer extension or a different key layout should look at something else.

B+M key to M-key pinout

The male end carries a B+M key profile while the female end is M-key only. This pin arrangement decides whether your 2242 SSD will seat and communicate correctly. Verify the key type of both the host slot and the target drive before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the package include an SSD or only the adapter board?

Only the PCB adapter is supplied; no 2230 or 2242 SSD is included.

Should I choose the NVME or SATA pathway for a ThinkPad X270?

Match the pathway to the SSD you own — NVME to NVME or SATA to SATA — because the adapter cannot convert between them.

Will a 2242 NVME SSD run at full speed when extended from a 2230 slot?

The adapter passes the existing NVME or SATA signals through without protocol conversion, so the drive operates at the host slot's native rate.
