chenyang CY Mini PCIe mSATA SSD to M.2 NGFF PCI-E Hard Disk PCBA Converter Adapter

Made for a much cheaper SSD. I got a really good deal on my Msata SSD, adding a few buck to convert it to a M.2 still helped me save some $$'s. I don't really notice any speed difference, but I am running this on a Raspberry Pi. Worked just fine.

Remember, these are for SATA M2 Do not use for NVMe drives.I have seen other OEMs sell similar products for a bit less, but because the first one I bought worked great, I bought it again a second time because I know this model is reliable. When it comes to products I buy from China, reliability is my biggest problem.

this card is a treasure for me. I had a failure of my Lenovo Yoga Pro 3. For data recovery I intended to take out the SSD, mount it on my external USB adaptor cable, and read the data on another computer. To my horror I found that the SSD from the Yoga Pro 3 had a different connector/interface from the adaptor i had for the Yoga Pro 2 SAD. The USB adaptor I needed was for a 2280 interface m.2 pcie gen2 x2 key b+m (specifically for a liteon model l8h-256v2g). It took me about 80 minutes of Google searching to find this rare one for PCIe, amongst all the adaptors for SATA. I asked an question on Amazon answers and the seller said it would work, but one other reviewer said it would not. Fortunately, the seller was right.I was surprised that the card came with no instructions. But it turned out to be quite intuitive. The circuit board has instructive information on it, and it was easy to test the two USB connections to see which one worked.

Good - Large file transfer in windows 11 ~ 244MB/s So far everything is running great. Will wait to see if long term reliability hold up or not ...

I got the item fast and it was cheap solution for first testing a drive before going to purchase expensive software and creating a better decision aka for fixing the issue on my wifes PC.As I was trying best to decide ok is no boot issue due to bad hard drive? If so how can I test it first before buying new HD.Additionally it helps me to see if I can recover the Drive important data aka back it up and or run system repairs using a working PC while using the USB port.Lastly I can now test to see if I connect it after repairs and system built in windows check disk etc free programs will it now boot before installing again or replacing the old drive

These adapters will do the job in desktop pc if you don't mind leaving them loose inside the case as they provide no provision for mounting. They may be more suitable for a laptop setup. I returned them because they would not meet my needs for mounting in place of a harddrive.

Fast shipping, good quality product

Tried to use this to salvage the data from an Apple 2012 Retina MacBook SATA SSD, no luck. Tried to utilize this adapter to mount a Samsung 970 NVMe M.2 - no joy. 0-2 so far... If I find a use for this adapter and can actually use it I'll update my review, but as it stands now this has been of no use to me. Not sure I like the build quality either which is another reason why I am inclined to give the poor rating. If I find that this works well for a device in the future I will update my rating.
