SMUGDESK 1.8 Inch mSATA to SATA Adapter Kit with USB 2.0 Cable

SKU CH-54WA-EC3KA

Converts 1.8-inch mSATA SSDs to standard SATA or USB 2.0 external storage for data backup and recovery

  • Turn 1.8" mSATA SSD into internal SATA drive using 7+15Pin connector
  • Convert mSATA SSD to portable USB 2.0 storage with included cable
  • Plug-and-play operation on Windows, Mac OS and Linux without drivers
  • Compact PCB design fits tight spaces inside chassis or enclosures
  • Reuse idle 1.8" mSATA SSD for backup, file transfer or data recovery

Dual-Interface mSATA Adapter

This kit converts a 1.8 inch mSATA solid-state drive to a standard 7+15Pin SATA connection for internal installation. A supplied SATA to USB 2.0 cable also enables external portable use. It targets users who want to repurpose idle 1.8 inch mSATA SSDs for backup, file transfer or data recovery without installing extra drivers.

Sustained USB 2.0 Throughput

When used externally the adapter operates at USB 2.0 specification speeds, so long transfers run at the bus limit rather than the drive’s internal ceiling. The plug-and-play design maintains stable signalling across Windows, Mac OS and Linux during extended copy or recovery sessions. No active cooling or firmware updates are required to sustain this behaviour.

Compact PCB with Fixed Connectors

The small circuit board fits tight chassis spaces and adds negligible weight to a 1.8 inch SSD. Fixed 7+15Pin SATA and USB 2.0 ports mean no loose dongles to misplace during daily transport. Note that the adapter only accepts 1.8 inch mSATA SSDs; M.2 NVMe, M.2 SATA and 2.5 inch drives are not compatible.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 2.0 link limit the mSATA SSD's speed during all-day transfers?

The adapter's external path is capped at USB 2.0 throughput, so sustained reads and writes will run at that rate regardless of the drive's own capability.

What host connectors must my system provide to use both internal and external modes?

You need a free 7+15-pin SATA data and power header inside the case for internal use, or a standard USB Type-A port for the supplied SATA-to-USB 2.0 cable.

Can I keep using a 2.5-inch SATA drive in the same machine while this adapter runs an mSATA SSD?

Yes — the adapter occupies its own SATA port and power connector, so a separate 2.5-inch SATA drive on another port works independently.
