Vszerda PCIe x1 to M.2 SATA + SATA III Adapter ASM1061 Standard Bracket

SKU CH-THWN-49F0N

Adds one M.2 SATA SSD slot and one SATA III port through a PCIe x1 slot using the ASM1061 chipset

  • Add M.2 SATA and 2.5" SATA drives through one PCIe x1 slot
  • ASM1061 controller delivers 6 Gbps SATA III throughput
  • Fits 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 B-key or B+M-key SSDs
  • Hot-swap capable for drive changes without power-down
  • Works with Windows XP through 10 and Linux

PCIe x1 to M.2 SATA adapter with SATA III port

This Vszerda adapter adds an M.2 SATA slot and a standard SATA III connector through a single PCIe x1 lane. It fits a standard-profile bracket and uses the ASM1061 chipset to manage both connections simultaneously. The card supports M.2 B-key and B+M-key SATA SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. It does not work with NVMe drives.

Thermals noise and power draw

The adapter is a passive controller board with no fan or heatsink, so it adds negligible heat and zero acoustic noise to the system. Power for the M.2 SSD and the attached SATA device is drawn through the PCIe slot and the onboard SATA power connection. Typical draw stays within the PCIe x1 specification and the SATA 6 Gbps link limit.

Build integration needs

A free PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot and a standard-profile bracket opening are required. The card provides one M.2 SATA socket and one SATA III port, letting you run an M.2 SATA SSD and a 2.5-inch SATA drive or optical drive at the same time. Hot-swap and NCQ are supported. Compatible with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Server 2003, 2008 and Linux.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Vszerda adapter and which slot size do I secure the M.2 screw for a 2280 drive?

Insert the card into any PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot, attach the standard bracket, then fasten the M.2 mounting screw into the 2280 standoff on the board.

What maintenance will the ASM1061 controller and SATA connectors need over time?

The controller is passively cooled and has no moving parts; periodically reseat the SATA data and power cables and blow dust from the gold fingers to maintain contact.

What throughput limit appears first when both the M.2 SATA SSD and a SATA III hard drive run sustained transfers?

The single PCIe x1 host link caps combined throughput at roughly 5 Gbps, so simultaneous heavy I/O on both ports will saturate the bus before either drive hits its own 6 Gbps SATA ceiling.
