Vszerda Mini PCI-e mSATA 1.8 SSD to 2.5 IDE 44pin Adapter Converter

SKU CH-EPMD-3HXQJ

Converts a 1.8 mSATA SSD to a 2.5 IDE 44pin drive using a 52 pin Mini PCI-e connector and 3.3V power

  • Converts mSATA SSDs to 2.5" IDE drives
  • Fits 44-pin IDE slots in laptops and industrial PCs
  • Powers from 5.0 V rail for 3.3 V mSATA modules
  • Uses 52-pin Mini PCI-e connector for full-size SSDs
  • Supports 50.95 mm × 30 mm × 3.8 mm form factor

Bridge for legacy IDE systems

This adapter lets you install a full-size mini PCIe mSATA solid-state drive into a 2.5-inch 44-pin IDE slot. It targets technicians and hobbyists who need solid-state storage in older laptops, industrial PCs, routers or kiosks that still use the IDE interface.

Steady operation on 5 volt rail

The board draws 5.0 V from the IDE connector and regulates it to the 3.3 V required by the mSATA module. Because it has no active cooling, sustained throughput will be limited by the host IDE controller and the drive's own thermal throttling rather than the adapter itself.

Straightforward slot-in install

The 52-pin mini PCIe edge connector accepts drives measuring 50.95 mm by 30 mm by 3.8 mm. The 44-pin IDE plug fits standard 2.5-inch bays, but the package notes that some IBM notebooks do not accept the card. No drivers are required; the host simply sees a standard IDE device.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter draw noticeable heat or power when the mSATA SSD runs continuously?

The adapter is a passive board with no active cooling; it simply routes the 3.3 V mSATA signal through the 44-pin IDE connector while drawing 5.0 V from the host, so heat and power draw are minimal and tied to the SSD itself.

What must my system already provide for this adapter to function?

You need a free Mini PCI-e 52-pin slot that supplies 3.3 V to the mSATA module and a 2.5-inch 44-pin IDE drive bay that delivers 5.0 V to the adapter board.

Will this work in an older laptop that only accepts a 2.5-inch 44-pin IDE drive?

Yes, the adapter presents the mSATA SSD as a standard 2.5-inch 44-pin IDE device, compatible with notebooks, industrial PCs, routers and firewalls that use that interface, except certain IBM models.
