WRIARICH mSATA/M.2 NGFF to SATA Adapter 2.5" SATA III B&M Key 4TB 500MB/s

What this adapter does

The WRIARICH mSATA/M.2 NGFF to SATA adapter converts B-key or B&M-key SATA SSDs to a 2.5-inch SATA III form factor. It supports mSATA and M.2 NGFF drives up to 4TB capacity with a reference read speed of 500MB/s. The board includes a toggle switch to select between the two installed drives, which cannot operate simultaneously. It is intended for users upgrading laptops or desktops that only accept 2.5-inch SATA drives.

Thermals noise and power

The compact black casing is described as dissipating heat quickly while resisting drops and wear. No active cooling or fan is present, so operation is silent. Power is drawn from the host SATA connection; the supplier notes that rear USB ports on desktops or built-in laptop ports should be used to avoid insufficient power. No specific power-draw figure is provided.

Accessories and setup impact

The package contains only the adapter board; no cables, brackets or software are bundled. The supplier recommends formatting and partitioning a new drive via Disk Management before first use. Drives must be unencrypted, as the adapter cannot decode encryption. If a drive remains unrecognised, the supplier suggests trying a different brand-name SSD.
