SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 2-in-1 PCIe Adapter Mini PCI-E x1 mSATA 2.5 SATA SIM Slot

SKU CH-G42Y-XTBNF

A dual-function PCIe x1 adapter adds a Mini PCIe slot for wireless modules and converts an mSATA SSD to a 2.5-inch SATA drive with a built-in SIM slot for cellular connectivity

  • Dual expansion in one PCIe x1 slot saves motherboard space
  • Mini PCI-E slot accepts WiFi or 4G LTE WWAN module
  • mSATA SSD converts to 2.5 SATA with SATA III 6Gbps speed
  • Built-in SIM slot enables cellular internet on desktop systems
  • Full-height bracket fits ATX cases with shielded PCB design

Dual-Function PCIe Expansion

This PCIe x1 adapter combines a Mini PCIe slot for Wi-Fi or 4G LTE modules with an mSATA-to-SATA converter for 2.5-inch SSD upgrades. It includes a built-in SIM card slot to enable cellular internet access on desktop systems without wired broadband. The single-slot design saves expansion capacity inside the chassis.

Thermal and Power Behaviour

The passive PCB relies on case airflow and the host slot for cooling, adding no active fans or noise. Power for the wireless module and mSATA drive is drawn directly from the PCIe x1 bus, keeping consumption minimal during normal operation. Shielded traces reduce electromagnetic interference for stable wireless and storage signals.

Build Integration

A full-height bracket fits standard ATX desktop chassis and accepts any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 motherboard slot. The adapter frees a second slot by merging wireless and storage expansion onto one board, suiting DIY desktop upgrades, industrial control hosts and NAS builds. Compatible with Windows 10, 11 and Linux environments.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SMUGDESK adapter into a desktop PC and which step is often missed?

Insert the board into any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot, secure the full-height bracket to the chassis, connect the mSATA SSD and a SATA data cable to the motherboard, then fit the Mini PCIe module and SIM card before closing the case — the SIM insertion is the step most builders forget.

What maintenance or replacement will the SMUGDESK adapter need over time?

The adapter itself has no moving parts and requires no scheduled maintenance; only the mSATA SSD or the Mini PCIe wireless module may need replacement if they fail or become obsolete.

What is the first throughput limit I will hit when running the mSATA drive continuously?

The mSATA-to-SATA conversion follows the SATA III 6 Gbps standard, so sustained sequential transfers cannot exceed that bus ceiling regardless of the drive’s own speed.
