## Description

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

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mistakenly bought for NVMe drive
*by B***D on 11 December 2023*

The only way I find out about new PC technologies is when I accidentally buy the wrong thing. 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.
