mSATA-to-SATA adapter for 2.5in and 3.5in drives
This adapter converts an mSATA host connection into a standard SATA port so a 2.5in or 3.5in SATA hard drive or SSD can be used in place of an mSATA module. It is aimed at system builders and upgraders who need to add larger-capacity storage to a platform that only provides an mSATA slot. The board accepts drives of any height and ships with a screw kit and installation guide.
Upgrade path from mSATA modules to larger SATA
The jump is worthwhile when the existing mSATA device is too small or too costly per gigabyte and the host system has physical room for a 2.5in or 3.5in drive. By exposing a full-size SATA receptacle the adapter lets you install a conventional SATA drive without replacing the motherboard or controller. It supports SATA I, II and III signalling up to 6.0 Gbps so the connected drive runs at its native interface speed.
Capacity headroom tested to 4TB and 7200 RPM
The adapter has been tested with drives up to 4TB capacity and 7200 RPM spindle speed, giving ample headroom for bulk storage, backups or media libraries. Performance scales with the attached drive and the host’s SATA revision; a SATA III drive on a SATA III host delivers the full 6.0 Gbps link rate. Mechanical constraints of the chassis, not the adapter, determine the maximum drive height that can be installed.

Questions about this item
What size drive bay does the MSAT2SAT3 adapter fit into?
The adapter measures .30" high, 2.00" long and 1.20" wide, so it fits inside standard 2.5in and 3.5in drive bays.
How do I install the mSATA to SATA adapter and what step is often missed?
Insert the 52 pin male mSATA connector into the host slot, secure the board with the included screw kit, then attach a 7 pin SATA data cable to the receptacle.
Will I need to replace the screw kit or adapter when I upgrade to a larger SATA drive later?
The supplied screw kit and adapter support all drive heights and have been tested with drives up to 4TB capacity, so no replacement is required.
