Winait mSATA to USB 3.0 Adapter 50mm 512GB 200/400Mbps ASM1153E

SKU CH-6AJB-R4EAZ

Turns a 50 mm mSATA SSD up to 512 GB into a USB 3.0 portable drive with 200 MB/s reads and 400 MB/s via UASP

  • Repurpose an mSATA SSD as portable USB storage
  • ASM1153E chip delivers stable signal and strong power
  • USB 3.0 interface reaches 200 Mb/s read and write
  • UASP support on Windows 8 or Mac OS 8&9 boosts speed to 400 Mb/s
  • Direct plug-in design needs no extra cable

What this adapter does

This Winait mSATA to USB 3.0 adapter turns a 50mm mSATA SSD into a portable external drive. It connects directly to a USB port on a laptop or desktop without needing a separate cable. The ASM1153E chip provides broad platform compatibility and stable operation for SSDs up to 512GB capacity.

Who it suits and who it does not

Builders with spare mSATA SSDs from past upgrades can reuse them for extra external storage. It is not for users who need to connect SATA Mini PCIe, PATA Mini PCIe, or RAID Mini PCIe drives. Buyers whose SSDs draw more than 1.5A of current should look at a powered enclosure instead.

How it fits into a setup

The adapter plugs straight into an available USB 3.0 port and draws power from the bus, freeing up internal drive bays and SATA cables. UASP support on Windows 8 or Mac OS 8&9 can raise transfer rates toward 400Mb/s, while standard operation reaches 200Mb/s. New drives must be formatted before the system will recognise them.

Questions about this item

Which mSATA SSD sizes and current draw does this 50mm adapter support?

It fits 50mm mSATA SSDs up to 512GB and only drives drawing less than 1.5A; other form factors such as mini PCIe are not supported.

Will the ASM1153E chipset work with my USB 3.0 ports and enable UASP on Windows 8 or Mac OS 8 and 9?

The ASM1153E chip provides broad compatibility with USB 3.0 ports; UASP acceleration requires host support and is available on Windows 8 and Mac OS 8 and 9.

How can I verify the adapter reaches the quoted 200Mb/s or 400Mb/s speeds after setup?

Format the SSD first, then run a disk benchmark; expect 200Mb/s plus on standard USB 3.0 and up to 400Mb/s plus when UASP is active on a supported OS.
