Chenyang Slim Type 68pin mSATA SSD to 2.5" SATA 3.0 22pin 6Gbps HDD Adapter Hard Disk PCBA

Made for a much cheaper SSD. I got a really good deal on my Msata SSD, adding a few buck to convert it to a M.2 still helped me save some $$'s. I don't really notice any speed difference, but I am running this on a Raspberry Pi. Worked just fine.

Remember, these are for SATA M2 Do not use for NVMe drives.I have seen other OEMs sell similar products for a bit less, but because the first one I bought worked great, I bought it again a second time because I know this model is reliable. When it comes to products I buy from China, reliability is my biggest problem.

this card is a treasure for me. I had a failure of my Lenovo Yoga Pro 3. For data recovery I intended to take out the SSD, mount it on my external USB adaptor cable, and read the data on another computer. To my horror I found that the SSD from the Yoga Pro 3 had a different connector/interface from the adaptor i had for the Yoga Pro 2 SAD. The USB adaptor I needed was for a 2280 interface m.2 pcie gen2 x2 key b+m (specifically for a liteon model l8h-256v2g). It took me about 80 minutes of Google searching to find this rare one for PCIe, amongst all the adaptors for SATA. I asked an question on Amazon answers and the seller said it would work, but one other reviewer said it would not. Fortunately, the seller was right.I was surprised that the card came with no instructions. But it turned out to be quite intuitive. The circuit board has instructive information on it, and it was easy to test the two USB connections to see which one worked.

Good - Large file transfer in windows 11 ~ 244MB/s So far everything is running great. Will wait to see if long term reliability hold up or not ...

I got the item fast and it was cheap solution for first testing a drive before going to purchase expensive software and creating a better decision aka for fixing the issue on my wifes PC.As I was trying best to decide ok is no boot issue due to bad hard drive? If so how can I test it first before buying new HD.Additionally it helps me to see if I can recover the Drive important data aka back it up and or run system repairs using a working PC while using the USB port.Lastly I can now test to see if I connect it after repairs and system built in windows check disk etc free programs will it now boot before installing again or replacing the old drive

The NVME portion of the adapter was not only soldered on backwards, it was also made incorrectly. The device is unusable.

I'm not sure why anything about this product mentions "PCIe 2 Lane" as people will read that and assume it supports PCIe drives which it simply does not. This is for mSATA and M.2 drives that use the SATA protocol only. Even if you happen to have a 2 lane NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD that is B+M keyed (e.g. Toshiba RC100), it WILL NOT WORK in this adapter. They need to remove any mention of PCIe for this product.The misleading product description and some equally misleading reviews made think about the current somewhat confusing state of SSDs. Short version of what people need to know about SSDs today...Form factor examples (the physical layout/connector): mSATA or M.2 or 2.5" etc.Protocols (how your device "talks" to the drive): SATA or NVMe (over PCIe)M.2 drives can be either SATA or NVMe.M.2 drives are keyed (the notches in the connector) as either B (connector facing you the notch is on the right with 6 pins visible) or M (connector facing you the notch is on the left with 5 pins visible) or B+M (both notches). NVMe PCIe x4 lane (~4GB/s peak bandwidth potential) drives are M key only. B+M drives can be either SATA (~600MB/s peak bandwidth potential) or NVMe PCIe x2 lanes (~2GB peak bandwidth potential). A good example of this is the older WD Blue SN500 being B+M keyed (it's a x2 lane NVMe PCIe 3.0 drive), vs. the newer WD Blue SN550 being M keyed only (it's a x4 lane PCIe 3.0 drive).Also, if you are trying to cram a 2nd SSD into the WWAN slot on your laptop and it is M.2, you likely need a 2242 length M.2 B+M keyed NVMe PCIe SSD (assuming your BIOS/UEFI supports it).Newer SSDs using PCIe 4.0 x4 lanes are coming to market now that double the potential bandwidth again over PCIe 3.0, which doubled the bandwidth over PCIe 2.0, which doubled the bandwidth over PCIe 1.0 (PCIe 4.0 x4 is 8GB/s peak bandwidth potential).Now you know everything you need to about today's somewhat confusing world of SSDs.-1 star for misleading mention of PCIe 2 lane support.-1 star for not designing it with quick connect clips instead of screws. It's an open face design and where it could excel is for quickly testing both SATA M.2 and mSATA drives. The design using screws instead of the spring clips negates some of this potential.

Fast shipping, good quality product
