Built using aluminium and plastic, the StarTech M.2 SSD to 2.5" SATA III Adapter provides users with a protective 2.5" housing for an M.2 SSD. This housing is equipped with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and once an M.2 drive is placed within, it may be used into your system's 2.5" drive bay as a boot drive. If your system has multiple 2.5" drive bays, then this adapter can provide additional storage. The M.2 SSD to 2.5" SATA III Adapter supports 2.5" drive bays that are 9.5mm or greater in height, is backwards compatible with SATA II 3 Gb/s and SATA 1.5 Gb/s, and is compatible with most M.2 SSDs, such as 2242, 2260, and 2280. It is OS independent, requires no software or drivers, and includes an SSD mounting kit, a housing mounting kit, and a mini screw driver.
Key Features:
- Protect your M.2 (NGFF) SSD in 2.5" applications using the enclosed housing
- Add M.2 SSD performance to most computer systems by converting an M.2 drive to a SATA drive
