M.2 SATA Adapter for 2230-2280 Drives

This adapter converts a SATA-bus M.2 slot into a standard SATA III interface running at up to 6Gbps. It accepts B-key and B+M key M.2 SATA SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. The compact add-on board works in desktops or laptops and requires no drivers for Windows, Mac or Linux systems.

Build Integration with Spare M.2 SSDs

The card plugs into a motherboard SATA port, letting you reuse an existing M.2 SATA drive as extra storage without occupying an M.2 slot. It needs a free SATA data connector and power from the PSU, freeing the M.2 socket for a potential NVMe boot drive. No additional cables or brackets are included in the specifications.

Suited for SATA M.2 Reuse, Not NVMe Builders

This suits users who have spare B-key or B+M key SATA M.2 SSDs and want to add them to a system with available SATA ports. It will not work with NVMe protocol M.2 drives, so builders needing to adapt PCIe-based M.2 storage should look elsewhere. Buyers without a free SATA header also cannot use this adapter.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum data-transfer rate of the SATA III interface on this adapter?

The adapter provides a SATA III connection capped at 6 Gbps, so the drive will hit the standard SATA ceiling before any other bottleneck appears.

Does the board generate noticeable heat or require active cooling during continuous operation?

The adapter is a passive PCB with no onboard controller or power circuitry, so it runs at ambient temperature and adds no audible noise.

Which M.2 key types and drive protocols are compatible with this card?

Only B-key or B+M-key M.2 SATA SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 lengths work; NVMe protocol drives are not supported.
