Overview Summary

Description

The Microworld SATA2M2 is a SATA to M2 NGFF converter designed to allow a compatible M.2 NGFF SSD to be connected through a SATA III interface. It is intended for users who need to integrate compatible M.2 storage into a system or enclosure that provides a SATA connection.

The adapter uses an M.2 NGFF B key interface and supports SATA Revision 3.2. The published maximum data transfer capability is up to 6 Gbps when used with a compatible SATA III controller and storage device. Actual storage performance depends on the connected SSD and host system.

The SATA2M2 has a 2.5 inch SATA SSD shell appearance with a stated size of 98 x 65.5 mm. Green and red LED indicators provide visual information for SSD power and activity. The adapter also incorporates a PWM synchronous buck converter power IC and provides a maximum current of 3 amps.

The converter includes short circuit protection, instantaneous surge current protection and electrostatic protection rated at HBM 2KV. It also has both M.2 NGFF and mSATA interfaces. When M.2 and mSATA SSDs are installed at the same time, the M.2 SSD is detected first and the mSATA SSD does not operate.
