Sabrent M.2 SSD zu 2.5 Zoll SATA III Aluminium Gehäuse Adapter (EC-M2SA)

New b650 motherboard didn't support sata m.2 drives only nvme pcie. This excellent bit of kit solved the problem converting it into a drive that can be plugged in via a sata cable into a sata port and therefore saved my old drive which is still fine for what I need. Has good build quality and is easy to use and install.

Bought a refurbished Optiplex SFF 3060 and wanted to utilise the limited space as much as possible, so converting the redundant optical drive was a priority. To do so, I first needed to get the SATA SSD to fit in the 2.5in enclosure, which is where this adapter came in. The drive easily mounted inside this, and with the addition of another adapter, was able to remove the optical drive and use the space for more storage. Highly recommended for anyone thinking of doing something similar.

I bought this in readiness for when SSD prices come down to a competitive level again. Since the end of October 2023 [some 2.5 months ago] SSD prices have risen by 45-50% [so much for Black Friday deals] so it isn't yet feasible to put this enclosure to the test. However it appears to be well made and has a quality feel to it.

Not sure if it’s the M.2 drive or the Sabrent case/adapter but they don’t quite fit together. The drive will plug in and work but the case won’t close. To close it fully you have to force it and it bulges, so I used it with putting the cover on. It reads and transfers data ok and got me out of a bind, so that was ok as I probably won’t need to use it again.

So easy to fit your sata ssd into the housing and to fit in into the case fit in the space i needed perfectly hence 5 stars

This M2 SSD SATA housing is a good product that worked perfectly out of the box. What I particularly like is the build quality; the housing is anodised aluminium rather than plastic so it is lightweight but sturdy enough. Though it's clearly not intended to be roughly handled - but why would you? I use this with a standard SATA to ESATA connector (inc. USB power connector) and alternatively with a SATA to USB only connector; but of course the device can be attached to a PC in the same way as a standard SATA hard drive. I now prefer this standard sized SSD housing to the smaller M2 housings that aren't much larger than the chip-set. Whilst the smaller housings are very convenient for USB connection, there is obviously more air space around the chip-set in this housing and I would think that this must be beneficial to keeping the chip-set cooler. Certainly the smaller housing I have does warm up appreciably after a lot of data shifting. So what would get it 10 stars from me? Well, in many M2 housings there is a stand-off for the mounting screw that keeps the board level and parallel with the housing base. In this unit there is no stand-off so after tightening the screw (and one must) the back end of the chip-set is forced down to the housing base that bends the chip-set ever so slightly; and I don't like that as, in the long term, it could put unintended pressure on the board and connector. A 2mm thick slither of foam placed under the back-end of the board cured this potential problem. But it would surely be better if the manufacturer supplied a fibre washer for the screw. Pedantic I may be, but M2 SSDs aren't cheap and need to be handled with care; so why not add a washer to the case. Not much to ask!

Works. Neat assembly. Took 30 seconds to install and m2 drive is very secure in there.

the plastic separator is to big. very poor

Work as intended

材質が金属で質感が良い、 ちゃんと読み書きもでき買ってよかったです。

Super adaptateur pour les SSD nvme. A préférer aux modèles sans marque et à bas prix.

Good Solid Body and quality. work an intended but please make sure you have M.2 NVME older versions doesn't work

SABRENT M.2 SATA Enclosure: A Simple Solution for Forgotten Drives I had an old M.2 SATA SSD sitting in a drawer—you know, the kind that was too small to be your main drive but too good to throw away. This little Sabrent adapter was the perfect way to give it a second life. The installation couldn't be simpler; you just slot the drive into the board, snap the two aluminum halves together, and screw in the four tiny corner screws (the included screwdriver is a nice touch). In about two minutes, I had what looked like a standard 2.5-inch SATA SSD. I popped it into an old laptop as a secondary drive, and it's been working flawlessly. The speeds are exactly what you'd expect from a SATA III connection—no bottlenecks here. The aluminum casing feels sturdy and does a decent job dissipating heat during extended use. The crucial thing to know—and where I think some negative reviews come from—is that this only works with M.2 SATA drives (B+M key), not the more common NVMe drives (M key). I double-checked my drive's specs before buying, and it worked perfectly. If you're unsure, a quick Google of your drive's model number will tell you which type it is. It's a niche product, but if you have the right kind of spare drive, it's a fantastic and affordable way to avoid electronic waste and get some extra storage. Bottom Line: An excellent, no-fuss adapter that breathes new life into old M.2 SATA SSDs, just be absolutely certain your drive is the SATA type and not NVMe before you click buy.
