Sabrent M.2 SSD to 2.5-Inch SATA III Aluminum Enclosure Adapter (EC-M2SA)

very handy and fast M.2 SATA B+M Key SSD adapter box. it is fast and sits well in side laptop or as standalone external SSD box

Awesome must buy if you have m2 ssd

I purchased an M.2 SSD stick for my desktop only to realize later that my desktop supports PCI based M.2 storage like NVME. So rather than letting my investment go waste, I replaced the HDD in my 10 year old laptop with M.2 SSD with Sabrent adapter to revitalize it for light use. I was amazingly surprised it worked and I get really good performance too!!

This product helped for an upgrade for my old PC which was running on an old 1TB HDD. I swapped the boot drive with a Kingston's 128GB SATA SSD (which i got through an upgrade of my laptop's SSD)connected through this Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E SATA adapter. Seq. read and write speeds are between 490MB/s and 350MB/s respectively (as per CrystalDiskMark benchmark). The old HDD still stores data. The 6yr old PC running on i3 processor now boots 64bit Windows 10 in 5 to 6 seconds and loads AutoCAD, Photoshop, etc. like a breeze. (before the upgrade it used to take 20 to 30 seconds to boot up windows 7)

It's compact and with good built quality. But the product failed to detect my ssd.

Works as a gem! But the product came with a dent on the body which I should blame Amazon :( not sure what quality check Amazon did.

Don't purchase this item. Not able to detect m.2 SSD. Return window closed. Screw with the alluminium case are losing in their threads.Total waste of money and time.

Must buy this product to solve m.2 2280 sad to internal satar.

He usado con éxito este adaptador para sustituir el disco de un portátil, un disco mecánico de 1Tb (Samsung) por un disco SSD SATA Crucial modelo MX500 de 1Tb. El SSD Crucial es un modelo bastante habitual, que no destaca por ser especialmente rápido. He pasado el test CrystalDiskMark antes y después del cambio. Los resultados son muy elocuentes: el disco SSD Crucial, montado dentro de este adaptador, conectado por SATA en lugar del disco mecánico tiene un rendimiento entre 4 y 5 veces más rápido que el disco mecánico, y llegando a 550Mb/S, muy cerca de la velocidad máxima teórica del interface SATA III de 600Mb/S. Para re-comprobar, he montado el disco SSD con este adaptador y además dentro de una caja externa SATA-USB, y conectado al mismo ordenador por USB 3.0, me da una velocidad de transferencia de unas 4 veces superior a la del disco mecánico. Es decir, cercana a la velocidad que obtenemos en el disco usado conectado directamente al interfaz SATA, y en ambos casos dando una velocidad de al menos 4 veces la velocidad del disco mecánico SATA original. Para mí el resultado es claro: este adaptador es una manera muy sencilla (Y barata) de usar un disco SSD para modernizar un portátil con interface SATA y disco mecánico. No he hablado del montaje, porque es tremendamente sencillo y cualquier persona que haya trasteado con discos duros internos sabrá como montarlo. No obstante subo fotos donde se muestra la forma en que se monta, como queda y como se compara con el disco mecánico. También subo los pantallazos con los resultados de los tests.

Good Solid Body and quality. work an intended but please make sure you have M.2 NVME older versions doesn't work

SABRENT M.2 SATA Enclosure: A Simple Solution for Forgotten Drives I had an old M.2 SATA SSD sitting in a drawer—you know, the kind that was too small to be your main drive but too good to throw away. This little Sabrent adapter was the perfect way to give it a second life. The installation couldn't be simpler; you just slot the drive into the board, snap the two aluminum halves together, and screw in the four tiny corner screws (the included screwdriver is a nice touch). In about two minutes, I had what looked like a standard 2.5-inch SATA SSD. I popped it into an old laptop as a secondary drive, and it's been working flawlessly. The speeds are exactly what you'd expect from a SATA III connection—no bottlenecks here. The aluminum casing feels sturdy and does a decent job dissipating heat during extended use. The crucial thing to know—and where I think some negative reviews come from—is that this only works with M.2 SATA drives (B+M key), not the more common NVMe drives (M key). I double-checked my drive's specs before buying, and it worked perfectly. If you're unsure, a quick Google of your drive's model number will tell you which type it is. It's a niche product, but if you have the right kind of spare drive, it's a fantastic and affordable way to avoid electronic waste and get some extra storage. Bottom Line: An excellent, no-fuss adapter that breathes new life into old M.2 SATA SSDs, just be absolutely certain your drive is the SATA type and not NVMe before you click buy.
