M.2 SSDs can also save you money by reducing your power consumption over regular platter drives. Help protect the health of your drive with an open-frame design that maximizes heat dissipation . Review: Everything worked surprisingly easily and of course the laptop is now wonderfully fast - About the only M.2 adapter I've seen that gives you the screw holes used to mount a 2.5" drive. I used this to put the M.2 SATA SSD from a broken laptop into a new one. Everything worked surprisingly easily and of course the laptop is now wonderfully fast. Moving the post that secures the end of the M.2 card can be tricky as it has screws in both sides, but the screws are different diameters so you can't mix them up. Just screw the post into the adapter where you need it first, then screw down the M.2 card and the screw lengths work out correctly. The hole for the post for 80mm long cards is right on the edge of the PCB and not closed, but it won't see large loads and with a tight screw I'm confident it will be fine. Review: Great piece of kit! - Works great! I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to boot from this but it worked fine, had no problems at all with it so far and getting some great speeds with it. Below is a link to the M2 I put in it and as stated above it works fine, I will update this review if I have any problems with it further down the line. https://www.desertcart.co.uk/Samsung-500GB-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B00TGIW1XG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1507561747&sr=8-6&keywords=m2+evo+ssd ## Features - NOTE: NOT compatible with M.2 NVMe or AHCI PCI-Express SSDs [Support only M.2 SATA] - BOOST SYSTEM PERFORMANCE: Increase system performance by adding the speed of an M2 SSD in any 2.5 inc SATA application with the M2 SSD to 2.5in SATA Adapter; Open design maximizes heat dissipation to protect the health of your drive - BROAD COMPATIBILITY: The M2 to SATA converter supports full length M2 SDD solid state drives and can mount multiple drive heights including: 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280; NOTE: Not compatible with M.2 NVMe or AHCI PCI-Express SSDs - INCREASED TRANSFER SPEEDS: Utilize the full potential of your SATA III controller with an M2 SSD, reducing your data transfer bottleneck with file transfer speeds up to 6Gbps; Operating Temperature: -40Β°F to 185Β°F; Supports B Key,M+B Key M2 SATA SSDs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ITJ7U20 | | Best Sellers Rank | 22,948 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 112 in SATA Cables | | Brand | StarTech | | Brand Name | StarTech | | Colour | Green | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC | | Compatible devices | Laptop, PC | | Connector Type | SATA | | Connector type | SATA | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,494 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | External Testing Certification | CE, FCC | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030855600 | | Input Voltage | 5 Volts | | Item Dimensions | 9.9 x 7.1 x 0.8 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Drive Bay Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 9.9 x 7.1 x 0.8 centimetres | | Manufacturer | Startech | | Manufacturer Part Number | SAT32M225 | | Model Number | SAT32M225 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product Finish Type | Matte | | Product Warranty | 24 months | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | computer system upgrades and performance improvements | | Specific uses for product | computer system upgrades and performance improvements | | UPC | 065030855600 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Green - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, PC - **Connector type:** SATA - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 9.9 x 7.1 x 0.8 centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** computer system upgrades and performance improvements ## Images ![StarTech.com M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5 inch SATA Adapter [NOT NVMe], Open-Frame Bracket, 7mm High, M2 Hard Drive Adapter - TAA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LqrwoUgaL.jpg) ![StarTech.com M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5 inch SATA Adapter [NOT NVMe], Open-Frame Bracket, 7mm High, M2 Hard Drive Adapter - TAA - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81l1qi1zdPL.jpg) ![StarTech.com M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5 inch SATA Adapter [NOT NVMe], Open-Frame Bracket, 7mm High, M2 Hard Drive Adapter - TAA - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rdIB1xyXL.jpg) ![StarTech.com M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5 inch SATA Adapter [NOT NVMe], Open-Frame Bracket, 7mm High, M2 Hard Drive Adapter - TAA - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BOLPlNGaL.jpg) ![StarTech.com M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5 inch SATA Adapter [NOT NVMe], Open-Frame Bracket, 7mm High, M2 Hard Drive Adapter - TAA - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819AfDDGS6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How can I tell which M.2 hard drives will work in this device?** A: This device can adapt an M.2 SATA B or B+M key drive to standard SATA connections, which is not possible for a PCIe based M.2 drive. Only an M.2 SATA drive will operate with this device. PCIe-based M.2 drives are not compatible with this device. **Q: Why is my brand-new SATA M.2 drive not showing up?** A: Before you can access a new or formatted drive in your operating system, you need to initialize it first and then create a partition on the drive if one is not already present. This method may vary by operating system. **Q: How do I initialize a drive in Windows?** A: Press the Windows key + R, type diskmgmt.msc and press enter. Right-click the new drive & select Initialize. If on Windows 7+ or a 2TB+ drive, choose GPT, use MBR for older Windows versions. Format this new drive before use. **Q: How do I initialize a drive in macOS?** A: Mac OSX/macOS detects a drive that needs to be initialized automatically and will ask you to do so. If you are prompted to initialize, click Initialize. If you are not and you can’t find the drive in Finder, you will need to partition the drive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything worked surprisingly easily and of course the laptop is now wonderfully fast *by M***E on 29 November 2016* About the only M.2 adapter I've seen that gives you the screw holes used to mount a 2.5" drive.

This is what happened when I tried to connect a spare NVMe drive from a broken computer into this adapter. Although the slots appear similar, the M.2 NVMe PCIe is completely incompatible with SATA and requires something like the UGREEN NVVMe to USB-C converter instead. It's a shame, but lesson learnt. The hardware seems well made and Startech probably have good support to help you through. It's a shame the buying guide wasn't as obvious as it could be. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5" SATA Adapter, Not Compatible with NVMe, Open-Frame Bracket, 7mm High, M2 Hard Drive Adapter, TAA - StarTech.com mSATA SSD to 2.5in SATA Adapter Converter - mSATA to SATA Adapter for 2.5in bay with Open Frame Bracket and 7mm Drive Height , TAA (SAT32MSAT257) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/48259460-startech-com-m-2-sata-ssd-to-2-5-inch](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/48259460-startech-com-m-2-sata-ssd-to-2-5-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
