BONAEVER M.2 SATA to USB 3.0 Card Reader

This adapter converts a B-key or B+M-key M.2 SATA SSD into a USB 3.0 drive. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors and connects directly to a computer without a cable. The bare board design aids heat dissipation and a mounting screw is included for secure installation. It is a new, plug-and-play accessory for accessing SATA-based M.2 modules.

Suits users with NGFF SATA SSDs needing USB access

Buyers who own M-key only drives or any PCIe and nVME SSDs cannot use this adapter. It also does not serve anyone requiring an enclosure for physical protection or a cable for flexible placement. The board must be trimmed at the 22 by 42 or 22 by 60 positions to fit shorter modules, a permanent change that cannot be undone.

Handles SATA SSDs up to 2280 length at USB 3.0

Theoretical throughput reaches 5Gbps and the interface is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. Performance is limited by the SATA protocol of the installed drive and the USB 3.0 link. It runs out of headroom for NVMe workloads, M-key only modules or any scenario needing PCIe bandwidth or a protective shell.
