M.2 SATA adapter for 2230 to 2280 SSDs

This adapter converts a SATA-bus M.2 SSD in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 form factors to a standard SATA 3.0 connection. It accepts Key B or Key B+M modules only and is not compatible with PCIe Key M drives. The card is driver-free and transparent to the operating system.

3.5-inch bracket and 142 by 65 millimetre PCB

A steel 3.5-inch mounting tray is included so the assembled card fits a regular drive bay. The green PCB measures 142 by 65 millimetres and sits inside the tray with an M.2 standoff screw supplied. A small screwdriver is also provided for securing the SSD to the adapter.

Passive operation with no extra power draw

The adapter adds no active components, so thermals and noise match the host drive exactly. Power consumption is limited to the SSD itself through the SATA 3.0 interface. No fan, heatsink or external power cable is required for normal use.

Questions about this item

What SATA standard does the AC3858 adapter use and what speed does it cap at?

The adapter runs on SATA 3.0, so the connected M.2 SATA SSD is limited to the 6 Gbit/s ceiling of that interface.

What physical space and mounting does the 3.5″ bracket require?

The bracket measures 142 mm by 65 mm and fits a standard 3.5″ drive bay; it ships with an M2 screw and screwdriver for securing the SSD.

How is the SSD installed on the card and which step is often missed?

Insert the B-key or B+M-key M.2 SATA SSD (2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280) into the slot, fasten the supplied M2 screw, then mount the assembly into the 3.5″ tray; the step people skip is tightening that M2 screw before sliding the tray in.
