ELUTENG mSATA to USB 3.0 Adapter - Mini SATA Converter as Portable Flash Drive External Hard Drive (No Cable Needed)

Perfect for reading mSATA SSDs from older computers that use them. I have a few left over from old NUCs and smaller form factor computers that have long since aged out and been recycled. The SSDs were still good so wanted to give them a second life. This effectively turns them into a flash drive with the added bonus of better read/write times. SSD just screws into the board with the included screws and screwdriver. Plug and play.

Worked perfectly for my old windows Surface Pro 8 SSD drive! A++

This allows me to use an old 1TB B+N m.2 SATA speed SSD with a new motherboard via the SATA 3 connection. Remember you have to flip the switch from mSATA to NGFF for the m.2 B+N to function. Easy to assembly and use.

My M&B NVMe fit perfectly in this 2.5" adapter. From there I was able to get my Window 11 system up and running with no issues. At the $7 I paid for this, I'd say it was a good deal. There is one issue that should be noted when purchasing: There is no real way for the heat to dissipate. The case is plastic and doesn't provide for any cooling. (This wasn't a problem for my usage as the system this drive is in sees very limited use.)

This works, but the USB soldered to the board is 30 degrees off of 90, so anything its plugged into it sits oddly, simple device, wasnt the quality i wanted for the price point, but still being used, and does work

Didnt feel like opening up a 27 inch late 2013 imac so I used this and a cheap msata ssd and its running os x smooth. Dont use it for much besides web browsing, worked right off the bat. Heads up MAC OS X supports running from an external drives, Windows does not really.

The seller is distributing an exceptional product. It arrived in a timely manner. It's functionality is supreme. It was compatible with windows 10 and made my project seemless. 5 star rating unquestionably!

Hey I mean, a video would be overkill. It did its job and it did it well.

Me sirvió para reparar una instalación windows como disco externo. El disco es un SSD mSATA de una Lenovo T430. Tenga cuidado que no es para los más modernos nvme o pcie. No trae carcasa, el disco queda al aire libre, solo para uso puntual. Trae los tornillos que luego los SSD no traen. UPDATE: Mi circuito es diferente a las fotos de 2021. No falta nada y es un chip diferente. ASMEDIA ASM225CM. Todo sigue bien.

great product. works as decribed

通常のSD カードと違って処理が早く良いと思います、外付けで使用しています。

Assembling this thing is no picnic for somebody with big clumsy hands. It comes with two tiny (I think #2-56) screws and god help you if you loose them. The little PH1 screwdriver it comes with is technically usable, but I recommend using a proper driver with a magnetic bit holder if you've got one. Once the mSATA drive is installed, one still needs to be careful about handling the device: It's just bare PCB with a USB-A connector on one end. I've been gripping it by the edges of the board to connect and disconnect it, which seems to work. On the plus side, I/O performance is excellent. I was able to get sustained transfer speeds of just over 400MB/sec using an old 120GB mSATA drive, and I think that's pretty-near the maximum speed you can get on a USB 3.0 port. If I end up using this adapter regularly, I will probably try to make a 3D-printed case of some sort for it: It needs something to prevent accidental short-circuits and (hopefully) to allow an mSATA module to clip in without needing to deal with those darn screws.

Not for m.2 drives. Allowed me to install my mSATA drive from my laptop that refused to boot and get my files off the drive. Thanks Windows update for bricking the boot manager on my drive. Easy to use, affordable and very convenient.
