MSATA to SSD male Converters Interface conversion options External interface: M.2 Internal interface: MSATA Note: These adapters do not support NVMe or PCIe protocols to MSATA adapter card External interface: MSATA Internal interface: M.2 Note: Not NVMe or PCIe compatible Mounting holes: four mounting holes designed to fit 2230mm, 2242mm, 2260mm, and 2280mm SSDs Compatibility and usage Before use, verify compatibility between the SSD and the motherboard or device interfaces These adapters provide only interface type conversions and do not support NVMe or PCIe protocols Key benefits Enables crossformfactor compatibility between MSATA and M.2 SATA interfaces Provides a simple, physical interface bridge without requiring NVMe/PCIe support Supports a range of SSD lengths (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280) for flexible installations Allows use of existing MSATA or M.2 SATA drives in systems that require the other form factor Practical use scenarios Scenario 1: Upgrading an older notebook that uses MSATA by connecting to an M.2 SATA slot on a newer motherboard, enabling continued use of the SSD Scenario 2: Designing a compact desktop or embedded system where you need to swap between MSATA and M.2 SATA interfaces without changing drives Scenario 3: Building a modular storage upgrade for mini PCs or small form factor builds that require support for 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSD lengths Product reliability notes Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting when installing the SSD Do not expect NVMe or PCIe performance gains, as the adapters are limited to SATAlevel protocols
