EN-Labs M.2 SATA to 2.5" SATA Adapter B/B+M Key 2230-2280
Converts SATA-based M.2 B or B+M key SSDs (2230 to 2280) to a 2.5" SATA 6.0 Gbps drive with a large PCB for heat dissipation
- Changer TypeM.2 SATA
- FeaturesFeatures: Convert an M.2 NGFF SSD into 2.5in SATA (6Gbps) in
- Converts M.2 SATA SSDs to 2.5" SATA for easy upgrades
- Supports B-key and B+M-key SATA drives in 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 sizes
- Runs at SATA 6.0 Gbps with backward compatibility to 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps
- Large PCB layout improves heat dissipation for stable operation
- Does not support M-key or M+B-key NVME SSDs
Adapter purpose and audience
This adapter converts a SATA-based M.2 NGFF SSD into a standard 2.5-inch SATA drive. It suits users upgrading a laptop or desktop that only has a 2.5-inch SATA bay but who already own a compatible B-key or B+M-key M.2 SATA module.
Compatibility checklist
Before ordering, confirm your M.2 SSD uses the SATA protocol and has a B-key or B+M-key edge connector. The adapter does not support PCIe-based M-key or M+B-key NVMe AHCI drives such as the Samsung 950 PRO, 960 EVO or 961. Verify your system accepts 2.5-inch SATA drives at 6.0 Gbps.
Sustained-load behaviour
The large PCB layout helps dissipate heat during extended read or write sessions. SATA revision I, II and III signalling at 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 Gbps is supported, so throughput remains consistent with the host controller and the installed SSD rather than being limited by the adapter itself.

Questions about this item
Does the adapter come with mounting screws or a 2.5" drive bracket, or must I buy those separately?
The adapter board converts a SATA-based M.2 NGFF SSD into a 2.5" SATA 6 Gbps form factor; mounting hardware for the SSD or the 2.5" bay is not included.
My SSD is 2242 mm and B+M keyed — will this adapter accept it?
Yes, the board supports SATA-based B key and B+M key M.2 NGFF SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 mm lengths.
The headline says 6 Gbps — will I actually see that speed once the drive is installed in my laptop?
The adapter passes SATA revision I, II and III signals (1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 Gbps), so the installed SSD will run at the highest speed both the drive and the host controller support.
