ELUTENG mSATA Adapter mSATA to USB 3.0 Adapter USB mSATA SSD Reader 50mm Mini SATA Converter as Portable Flash Drive External Hard Drive (No Cable Needed)

Me sirvió para reparar una instalación windows como disco externo. El disco es un SSD mSATA de una Lenovo T430. Tenga cuidado que no es para los más modernos nvme o pcie. No trae carcasa, el disco queda al aire libre, solo para uso puntual. Trae los tornillos que luego los SSD no traen. UPDATE: Mi circuito es diferente a las fotos de 2021. No falta nada y es un chip diferente. ASMEDIA ASM225CM. Todo sigue bien.

great product. works as decribed

通常のSD カードと違って処理が早く良いと思います、外付けで使用しています。

Perfect for reading mSATA SSDs from older computers that use them. I have a few left over from old NUCs and smaller form factor computers that have long since aged out and been recycled. The SSDs were still good so wanted to give them a second life. This effectively turns them into a flash drive with the added bonus of better read/write times. SSD just screws into the board with the included screws and screwdriver. Plug and play.

Assembling this thing is no picnic for somebody with big clumsy hands. It comes with two tiny (I think #2-56) screws and god help you if you loose them. The little PH1 screwdriver it comes with is technically usable, but I recommend using a proper driver with a magnetic bit holder if you've got one. Once the mSATA drive is installed, one still needs to be careful about handling the device: It's just bare PCB with a USB-A connector on one end. I've been gripping it by the edges of the board to connect and disconnect it, which seems to work. On the plus side, I/O performance is excellent. I was able to get sustained transfer speeds of just over 400MB/sec using an old 120GB mSATA drive, and I think that's pretty-near the maximum speed you can get on a USB 3.0 port. If I end up using this adapter regularly, I will probably try to make a 3D-printed case of some sort for it: It needs something to prevent accidental short-circuits and (hopefully) to allow an mSATA module to clip in without needing to deal with those darn screws.
