SMUGDESK mSATA to SATA Converter Card Half-Size 2.5 3.5 Inch

SKU CH-5EJ4-SXMM4

Converts half-size mSATA SSDs to standard SATA for 2.5 and 3.5 inch bays, preserving full SATA speed with no drivers needed

  • Converts half-size mSATA SSD to standard 7-pin SATA interface
  • Supports SATA I, II and III speeds for full bandwidth
  • Compact half-size PCB fits 2.5 and 3.5 inch drive bays
  • Plug-and-play operation with no driver installation required
  • Requires separate 15-pin SATA power for complete assembly

Compact half-size mSATA adapter

This half-size mSATA to SATA converter card installs an mSATA solid-state drive into a standard 7-pin SATA interface. It turns the mSATA SSD into ordinary SATA-form storage usable inside 2.5 or 3.5 inch hard-drive bays of desktop PCs. A mature conversion chip maintains full SATA bandwidth for reliable read-write performance and system booting.

For reusing half-size mSATA drives

The adapter suits builders who want to repurpose an existing half-size mSATA SSD in a desktop or notebook with a standard SATA bay. It is not for users with M.2 NGFF drives, as the physical connector differs. Buyers needing a self-powered solution should note the assembly requires a separate 15-pin SATA power connection from the power supply.

Plug-and-play hardware conversion

No driver installation is needed under mainstream operating systems. The compact half-size PCB avoids space conflicts inside narrow chassis. Installation simply inserts the mSATA SSD onto the board, then connects the 7-pin SATA data cable and 15-pin SATA power cable. The bundle includes only the converter card itself.

Questions about this item

What separate power connector must my power supply provide for the mSATA SSD on this converter card?

The adapter needs a standard 15pin SATA power cable from the power supply to deliver power to the mSATA SSD, because the converter board itself only passes the data signal.

Will this halfsize mSATA converter fit inside my existing 2.5inch or 3.5inch drive bay without blocking adjacent components?

The compact halfsize PCB is designed to occupy minimal space, so it fits inside both 2.5 and 3.5inch SATA bays and avoids conflicts with nearby hardware in small formfactor chassis.

After connecting the data and power cables, how can I verify the mSATA SSD is recognised and operating at full speed?

The drive should appear in the system BIOS or operating system disk utility immediately, allowing boot and normal file access with no driver installation required.
