## Description

desertcart.com: SABRENT M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5 Inch SATA III Aluminum Enclosure Adapter (EC-M2SA) [Not NVMe] : Electronics

Review: SABRENT M.2 SATA Enclosure: A Simple Solution for Forgotten Drives - 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.
Review: Great product, make sure you buy the right one for your drive though. - I saw lots of reviews about this not working. But there is a picture in the images that show what keys/types work with these adapters. The one i purchased had the key for my sata ssd. Which my pcie 4 slot, runs sata ssds, but not my pcie 3 slot. So it left me 1tb of storage down. This device, works great. Getting full speed I think on crystal disk. Overall a great product. And a quite elegant solution for a problem I didnt know I was going to have. Thank you Sabrent :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast and Easy
*by J***N on January 21, 2026*

Worked very well, with fast transfer speeds (300MBps sustained on a USB 3.0 port - it could possibly be higher, but i didn't test it on 3.1/3.2). Very easy to install, it came with all screws and a mini screwdriver.
