This MSATA interface adapter offers flexible crossinterface SSD compatibility while keeping within SATAbased (nonNVMe/PCIe) performance. Key features and benefits Compatibility check suggested: Before use, verify SSD, motherboard, and device interface compatibility to ensure proper operation. Supports common form factors: four mounting holes to accommodate 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 SSDs. Two adapter configurations for flexible use: MSATA to SSD male: external interface is M.2; internal interface is MSATA. To MSATA adapter card: external interface is MSATA; internal interface is M.2. Interface specifics and limitations: Both configurations do not support NVMe or PCIe protocols; operation is limited to SATAbased M.2 or MSATA signaling. Practical build notes: Keeps a straightforward, plugandplay approach for integrating the two common SSD types without needing a different drive or enclosure. Specifications and compatibility External interface for MSATA to SSD male: M.2 Internal interface for MSATA to SSD male: MSATA External interface for the to MSATA adapter card: MSATA Internal interface for the to MSATA adapter card: M.2 Supported SSD sizes on mounting: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 Protocol support: SATAbased only; NVMe and PCIe are not supported What this helps you achieve Flexible crossbrand and crossformat SSD deployment in systems with different interfaces. Allows reuse of existing M.2 SATA SSDs in devices that provide MSATA slots, and vice versa, without changing storage hardware. Enables quick testing, upgrade, or refurbishment workflows by swapping drive interfaces rather than entire boards. 23 use scenarios Scenario 1: You have a device with an MSATA slot and want to use an M.2 SATA SSD. Install the M.2side external interface and connect the M.2 SSD through the MSATA internal interface to the device. Scenario 2: You have an M.2 slot but only MSATA drives are available. Use the to MSATA adapter card to insert an MSATA SSD into the M.2enabled device. Scenario 3: IT refurbishment or diagnostics. Swap between M.2 and MSATA SSDs to test compatibility or performance in laptops, mini PCs, or other compact systems that use these common form factors, without NVMe/PCIe considerations. Notes The adapter set is designed for SATAbased SSDs only; NVMe and PCIe protocols are not supported. Proper mounting alignment and screw usage should be observed for 2230/2242/2260/2280 drives.
