Versatile caddy for MSATA and NGFF B/M-key SSDs

This adapter converts a 9.5mm laptop optical bay into a secondary SATA drive slot. It accepts either an MSATA SSD or an NGFF B-key or B/M-key SSD, selected via a physical switch on the caddy. No cables, external power or driver installation are required for operation.

Suits owners of older laptops

The caddy enables dual-boot setups and fast local backups by adding a second solid-state drive alongside the primary system drive. Builders who only have an M-key NGFF module cannot use this adapter, and users wanting to run both an MSATA and an NGFF drive at the same time will need a different approach.

Key constraint: NGFF support limited to B-key

The adapter will not function with an M-key only NGFF SSD, regardless of its physical fit. A switch on the housing selects between the MSATA and NGFF interfaces, but only one drive type can be active at any time. The connection uses a standard 13-pin Slimline SATA interface.

Questions about this item

What SATA speed does the 13-pin Slimline interface deliver in practice?

The caddy passes the laptop's native SATA link straight through, so an mSATA or B-key NGFF SSD runs at the host drive's rated SATA I/II/III throughput without any added bottleneck.

Will this 9.5 mm high caddy fit my laptop's optical bay?

Yes — the tray is built to the standard 9.5 mm slimline optical-drive height and uses the 13-pin Slimline SATA connector, matching most universal laptop CD/DVD-ROM bays.

How do I install an mSATA or NGFF SSD and what step is often missed?

Open the retaining latch, seat the drive at an angle into the mSATA or NGFF B/M-key slot, press down until it clicks, close the latch, set the selector switch to the correct drive type, then slide the whole caddy into the optical bay.
